What kind??

Our animal lover, Libby, came running into the house filled with excitement as she proclaimed, "Mommy, I just found a nest in the bush outside your bedroom window. I can't see any eggs.  What kind of bird made the nest?  I wonder if we will get to see the babies. " 

As the days went on, Libby observed the nest consistently!  She was always giving the family an update sure that one day the nest would possess eggs.  Much to she amazement, she finally peeked into the cluster of twigs and mud and discovered three beautiful, blue eggs.

Now she knew that she would be blessed to watch the growth of little Robin babies.  Just like Libby, we don't know what the Lord has in store for us.  We know that we are to adopt.  We know that we are to prepare our nest for a little one.  We know that we are going to have a domestic adoption. Other than that, it all remains a mystery.  We aren't even sure what the sex will be due to the fact that we are open to any sex and any ethic background.  The Lord has a child just for us, but hasn't chosen to reveal very much detail at is time. 
There are days that I want to hurry the process, but we have been told that we need to wait until we have raised majority of the adoption fees before we can have a match.  So, we all wait.  While we do, we try to raise the money and get our nest ready for the little one to "hatch".
