My husband, Will, and I have been blessed in our marriage way more than we ever deserved.  We were married 3 years when we decided it was time to start our family...We soon had our first born daughter and were excited to have 3 more children quickly follow our first.  We had 4 children in exactly 5 years and we felt complete and good with our family.  I had 4 c-sections to deliver my babies, so my doctor would not allow me to have a 5th pregnancy and Will and I were very comfortable and ok with that decision.  We quickly fixed our ability to get pregnant and went about our way raising our 2 girls and 2 boys.  They all were healthy and perfect.  I was shocked by the fact that God had blessed us with four healthy, happy children.  The thought always stirred in my head.."How did I get so lucky?"  As our baby George grew through his first year of life, I never contemplated adding another child to our family..I was content and happy with our family as it was.  I watched my very own sister attempt at two adoptions and still never dreamed it was for us...Never even thought on it.....THEN one day a you-tube video was sent to me by a friend of a local family adopting an orphan from Ethiopia....That's all it took...I read the stats about Ethiopia and how the babies and children were starving and didn't have even the basic need met...I couldn't stop thinking about it...I was hooked!!  I felt a stirring in my heart that could only be God!!  I knew I could love one of these precious children just like the ones I had birthed....My answer was finally right before me....God had blessed me with four happy, healthy children because He wasn't done with us yet.... I was to add a 5th child to our family and I didn't even know it.  I couldn't sleep at night I was so filled with excitement.... My husband was on board right away but wanted to wait until the kids were a little older...We had at the time a 5 yr. old, a 4 yr. old, a 2 yr. old and a 10 month old baby at home...I didn't blame him for saying our hands were full....but I wasn't convinced that waiting 6 months would make that big of a difference....He quickly decided that starting the adoption was fine and we mailed off our application on our Baby George's 1st b-day!!  The journey went smoothly as we were referred a precious baby girl after waiting about 6 1/2 months...After one month, the birth mother changed her mind and returned to take her baby back home from the orphanage....It was agonizing, but we knew God would bring us a new baby girl and He did....We were then referred a new baby girl 3 weeks later and then on June 15th, 2009 we traveled to Ethiopia, Africa to pick up our new baby girl, Lucy Lane Martha Johnson....She has now been home 3 weeks and she is truly a blessing from the Lord...She fits right into our family and we love her so very much...She is truly an angel sent from God himself...We are so thankful for this journey and would do it a hundred times again if it meant we would end up with our sweet baby girl...She is the light of our life...
