Our second adoption was a little different than the first. We had just finished with paperwork with the adoption agency again when we recieved a phone call about Levi. Friends of our from church had adopted at the same time we got our first child. These friends had a daughter who attended a nearby preschool. The Preschool teacher was pregnant and was unable to provide for the child at that time. We set up a meeting at a nearby Starbucks and discussed the option of Will and I adopting the baby. The Lord had blessed us again with a great birth mother to provide for us a child. With Levi we were able to keep in touch before he was born. Rose had a Csection on August 22, 2005. Everyone was able to be there this time. We shared the day with Rose's family and our own. Once again there was the horrible wait period. This time however the baby was kept in the nursery all the time. I just sat in the side room and held him straight for three days. I fed him, clothed him and watched him sleep. Levi is one of the most beautiful children God ever made. We had a lawyer and within days everything was done. We were blessed with child number two. Levi was born in Ft. Worth so when he was released from the hospital we took him straight home.
Content with our now two children life was changing as was Will's job. We moved to Tulsa from Ft. Worth and a whole new life journey was in store for us now. We had to sell our home in Texas so for nearly 3 months the boys and I lived with Will's mom. Tulsa is only two hours from Nonnie's. We spent as much time as we could together as a family. Finally we were blessed by our Elders at church to go ahead and buy a new home without the sale of our home in Texas yet. After looking at over 100 homes we found a beautiful home in Broken Arrow. We moved in to our new home in April. We had seen many miracles in our life but none compared to what the Lord had in store for us next....................
