Thank you for your encouraging words! Getting those documents done over really has gone smoothly (so far). Everyone has been great, and really understanding. It was just in the moment when I thought we were done, hearing that we had to back track a little. But, I’m so glad that she looked over them, because it could have been REAL bad if that all was found later in the process.
And I know that God has the perfect little guy for our family, I just can’t wait to meet him! I have been thinking and praying a lot lately about his birth mom and what she is going through. I can’t even imagine knowing that you are not going to raise this little person that you have carrying around for nine months. This little person that you have been feeling move around inside of you, and bonded with already. It makes me very sad for her! I just pray God will give her the strength she needs to get through this, and will wrap His loving arms around her.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to get into all of that. I just wanted to say thanks for the encouragement! This blog thing has been great. I told Todd I would never join the blog world, but here I am and it’s actually fun.

We are also going through the adoption process to adopt a Guatemalan girl. We just finished our paperwork and are patiently waiting(if there is such a thing). We just had a successful yard sale last weekend and are talking about having another one. Good luck the rest of the way.

Did you get the photos I sent? Hope so!
It is hard to think of the loss another woman is suffering. When our son came home he arrived with a variety of reports… until that time I knew nothing about who his birthmother was (except a terrible picture of them together from LabCorp with the DNA results). That is another story all-together!
Anyway, when I realized what the choices were for her… my son most likely would have never survived in her care. Praise God she made the decision that she did!! I feel tremendous love and gratitude towards her. Next you will be feeling for the foster family… they get very attached to the children they care for, too! My son came home with SO many gifts from his foster family and a beautiful letter about how they were sad to let him go. I had a hard time knowing he was with people that I had no clue about. I prayed for his spiritual, physical and emotional safety every day. They were a wonderful family!!!
Hope things are moving along well for you now!
