Jane Jordan

I thought I should give a much needed update on our little Jane. So here it is! :)

We are now #5 on the waiting list. This is just crazy to me and stirs up a lot of emotions. It is so exciting that we are moving quickly now. However, not much has changed on how long we will be waiting for her. As I have said before, we will likely be getting close to #1 by the time Zoe and Nora are born. Our agency likes there to be about a 6 month age gap between biological kids and adopted ones. So, we could accept a referral at just about anytime after our other girls are born depending on the age ranges, etc.

All that said, we don't know when we will be ready to accept a referral. Once you are matched with a baby it is about a 6 month process (in a good scenario) to be home with your child due to all the legal stuff and travel. Will we be ready to accept a referral when the girls are 3 months old since it will still be another 6 months until Jane will be home? I don't know than answer to that yet. I believe we will have them all home by the twins first birthday. I have thought that for a whole now. But I just don't know. It could be sooner or it could be later. We are going to see how we feel and how things are going before we make those choices. But there is no question as to whether or not we are still adopting her!!

It is a little sad in a way that we have come so close and it is now seeming like we are far again. However, I think it is going to be here before we know it!

We know so many people have been on this journey and supported us in soooo many ways and I want you to know we are still so thankful and this adoption is still a huge priority to us! Little Jane is our daughter just as much as the other girls and we are just as excited to meet her and become her mommy and daddy!!

We will keep you posted throughout the months and can't wait to see how it plays out!!! But God is in control and has been this whole time so we know this plan is perfect! Yay for more babies girls than we ever thought possible!!
