I'm writing this post to answer the question that keeps coming up. Lately, everyone we know keeps asking, "have you heard anything?" (referring to the adoption). The answer is no. It has been a little over a year and we have not heard anything. We have not been contacted by any birth moms and we have no idea if we will.
The next thing that everyone wants to know is how we are handle it, so here is the answer. It is hard, but we are okay. We want another child and for Ava to have a sibling more than everything, but we know we have no control over it. Yes, it is difficult and painful, but we just keep on keeping on and focus on the blessing that Ava is. We have faith that what is right for our family will come to pass. We continue to pray, read the scriptures, and go to the temple to find the comfort and peace we need. It doesn't completely take away the longing for another child, but it makes the waiting bearable.
I know many of you wish you could help, but don't know what to do. We appreciate your love and support. We have been blessed with wonderful family and friends...thank you! Please just keep us in your thoughts and prayers. And, if you know anyone that is considering adoption please remember us and maybe put in a good word or two.

We kind of understand what you are going through. We have been trying for just over a year to get pregnant again, and so far it is just not happening. Every month it just gets harder and harder to take the failure. I'm sure that Ezra and Ava will both someday have a sibling, but even if they never do at least they will have each other!
I hear you~We have always wanted 4 kids but it never happened for us. Of course people always say at least you have two or the one. But, I understand that longing and feeling inside when you feel like your family is meant to be bigger. You are both wonderful Mothers and I will continue to keep you both in my prayers that the Lord will bless you and your families.
