A wonderful young lady chose us to be her child's adoptive family.
We
On Tuesday May 14th we received a call from American Adoptions. They informed us that we were chosen but this young lady's budget was more than ours (we are able to decline this match because our budgets don't match).
But!!!!
The other information (personal information that we choose not to share) made her a PERFECT match.
With SO much help from my parents, we were able to accept this match.
Needless to say, we have a birth mother. She is due July 3rd and she is having a girl!!
Even with all this excitement, we have to remember that the birth mother can change her mind. The state the birth mother is in there is a 72 hour time period that she has to change her mind. It is still a very REAL possibility that this could happen. We have spoken to her a few times and we will get to meet her in 2 weeks. She feels comfortable and confident that she is making the right decision. But we continue to pray that this is God's plan. That the birth mom is at peace with her decision. And that she and the baby remain healthy.
So we wait
Oh my goodness!!!! This is such great, amazing, fantastic, over the moon news!!!!!! I am so excited for you guys and will be praying for ya.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness!!!I am so beyond happy and excited for you all! Praying for the birth mother, the baby, and for you guys! :) This was such wonderful news to get tonight after a really long exhausting day!
ReplyDeleteBeing on the end of the girls as her parents, I know this decision wasn't one made lightly. I know also it was very difficult to find the right parents for this sweet little angel that is needing a home. This wonderful, selfless birth mother has been agonizing over which family would be the RIGHT one for this precious child, I'm so happy you were the ones chose. I know you will be wonderful parents to this sweet gift from Heaven. I will pray that this selfless birth mother has the courage and strength to go through with what she knows what is right for her and this sweet baby. I also pray her family will continue to support her in this also. In our experience it truly was a very spiritual experience and are so thankful for the opportunity to bless the lives of so many even ours...we have an even bigger family!! If that's even possible!! ;) We love you guys, have faith and trust in god's plan it will all work out. We will pray for all in this journey.
