It has been a few weeks since I have posted any updates. There really hasn't been much to update on though.
I have been in prayer . . . prayer for the process as a whole - that God will work it all out in His perfect timing and give us clarity when we receive a call. I have also been praying for the biological mom of the baby- that somehow we can be a witness to her. Then of course for the baby- that the birth go well and the baby be healthy.
A few answers to prayer from the beginning of the process are that God has given me a renewed excitement for having a newborn. We were convicted to adopt, but my desire to have a baby again needed to be renewed.
Also, as many of you know, my 3 pregnancies weren't easy (for those of you who don't know I had Hyperemesis Gravidarium- a nausea/vomitting pregnancy disease). This whole process would probably not be near as easy if I had easy pregnancies and could have more of my own. So, as hard as it was, I am thankful!
We received a call Tuesday evening from Marian, our legal assistant. A 22 year old mom due August 8th. She will be having a boy (which is what we have requested) and is willing to have somewhat of an open adoption. Right now we are working on all the details and have to get confirmation from her that she accepts us. At this point we are praying that if this is the one for our family, that God work out all the details and just really be in the middle of it all.
I am thankful for friends and family that are so supportive and there for us in prayer!
