		<description>Hi Melissa,
No not really led towards adoption. We have many specific reasons doesn&#039;t seem in our future... some are:

Dear husband was adopted and so I felt the early -before marriage call for fostering or adopting was satisfied through
my marrying him and giving a lot of time and emotion to helping him sort out his feelings about his adoption. 
Now we have thought about it yes, but see that we homeschool our children in a very relaxed way and fostering children puts so many rules on living space etc... 
we don&#039;t vax or even go to reg ped. doc  appts  so we don&#039;t feel like we are in the position to have &#039;home studies&#039; done on our family  and come out the way they would want a potential couple to conform to.
Maybe after my childbearing age is over we will reconsider. 

I will read your blog sometime!

Thanks for reading at birthing a quiverfull :;^)

P.S. Being QF minded has more to do with being careful of not hindering the fruit of the womb -however many children the Lord would bless one with.
For me having a large family isn&#039;t the focus but of course there is the full possibility that a couple will be given many children!
For a single lady like yourself adopting is a wonderful way to show in a practical way that you support LIFE and see a child as valuable.
Investing your resources and energies in a little person is a relational blessing that can not be denied!Thank You!

( Many QF minded families have adopted in addition to their biological children this is great and a special witness!)</description>

		<description>Thank you for sharing some of your journey. Do you have a heart for adoption, too, or just bio children? Just curious. Seems like you have a wonderful family.
