BIG ANNOUNCEMENT - I think we are going to have to change the name of our blog.....

WOW!! What a journey we have had so far and the fun has only begun. I look back at the last eight to nine months of our lives and just continue to stand in awe of God, His promises, His undeserved blessings and His timing. Jay and I have learned a lot about all three of those things and I have a feeling this is just the beginning of lessons learned.

While waiting for some new info to be sent in for our clearances, Jay and I found out that we are expecting another Baby Clark in September 2015!!!!! I am just out of my first trimester and I have had an amazing experience so far. With that being said, so many people have asked us what we are going to do about the adoption and the answer is- continue to pursue it. Unfortunately, India has specific requirements for their adoption process and we are having to put the process on hold. Unless something changes, we will not be able to continue to pursue our Indian baby until our child turns one year old.

When our caseworker delivered this news, I was extremely emotional. Jay and I knew that we would have to prolong the adoption if we were to get pregnant going into the process, but we had no intentions of getting pregnant. (Funny how God reminded us real quick who is in charge.) As I sat and pondered the information she gave me, I was reminded once again that God's timing is perfect. I feel like that phrase rolls off of every "Christians" tongue so easily, but the reality is that when it is all said and done Jay and I pray daily for His guidance and will for our lives, so if this is it then  I think we are in a great place.

For those of you who have donated time, money, yard sale items, whatever it may be- please know that ALL of those funds are in our account for the adoption at the agency. We do not have to start over completely, we will just pick up where we left off once we start the process again. Any financials that have been applied stay in place.

We are so grateful for the continued love, support and prayers from everyone. Please continue to pray for both of my sweet babies. This is all happening a lot sooner than anticipated so if you want to add Jay and I to that prayer list we would greatly appreciate it ;) I will be posting occasionally with updates about the pregnancy, our lives and our journey in general. I am not going to post every week or even every month, just when big events are happening. I love you all. Thank you again for your love and support.

Sincerely,
Jay, Erica, Baby Clark#1 and Baby Clark#2
