Adoption.

Sometimes when I'm alone with my thoughts, I remember things that I haven't put on the blog yet. The possibility of adoption is one of those things.

Yes, I have seriously looked into local adoption on several occasions. After figuring up the cost of fertility treatments, or even if I get pregnant on my own for that matter, it turns out to be a little bit cheaper to do a local adoption. And at this point, I would much rather go with an adoption, where I know 100% that I will have a child, versus going through with a fertility treatment that may or may not work.

So why local adoption and not international adoption? Local adoption is much cheaper, and is usually done in your own county. I know that there are a lot of children that need to be adopted internationally, but there are a lot of children in Texas that need good, loving, Godly homes as well.

Why aren't we running out and adopting a kid right now? Again, money. It may be cheaper to adopt, but it can still be upwards of $10,000 to locally adopt in Texas. And that's money that I just don't have right now. But we are praying about this a lot and starting to save. But in the meantime, we are still trying to have our own baby.
