We Are Matched!

 



We have some exciting news to share... We were matched! For those of you that do not understand the adoption lingo, being matched means that we were chosen by a birth mom to adopt her baby. Those 3 little words "you've been matched" are the words we have been waiting 8 months to hear! Lord willing we will have baby Wall #3 in our arms in 1.5 months! My sister in law asked me if I was guardly optimistic, unsure if it's actually going to happen or excited... I responded by saying "all of the above!" The world of adoption is such a roller coaster of emotions that Dan and I have learned to guard our hearts almost to a fault. When I received the call that we had been matched I tried my hardest to respond with udder joy, while in the back of my head I struggled with doubt. I am beginning to feel more and more optimistic because everything keeps falling into place at the perfect time. Also, the more I learn about the birth mom the more excited I become. We are headed out to California next week to figure out more details and meet the birth mom, which we are super excited about! We both feel that the relationship between us and her is such a key part of this process which is why we are so excited to meet her.  Obviously nothing is set in stone and anything can happen between now and next month.  However, we are trusting the Lord and his will!

Prayer Requests:
-For the Lords will to be done
-For the birth mom
-For the baby
-For finances to fall into place
-Smooth adoption process
-Dan, Caleb, Peyton and my hearts to be prepared for lots of change





We are so ready to add another little one to our family!
