I was very hesitant to give any sort of updates because let's be honest, in the world of adoption, nothing is certain. After a lot of thought I have decided that it is better to share our updates so that we can have others join us in prayer. So here it goes... A few weeks ago I was scrolling through my newsfeed on Facebook, when I happend upon a post from a foster/adoption group I follow. It simply stated: "Adoption opportunity, if interested contact this attorney. However, the birth mom is really looking for someone from her own state." Well with us being in AZ and this opportunity being in FL, the opportunity did not look very promising. However, I decided that I would at least give it a shot in the dark and contact them. To my surprise, they contacted me within a few hours and I gave them some of our information. By the end of that week I had met the birth mom via Skype and we were officially matched! I still am in some sort of shock. Lord willing, we will have our baby by the end of May or beginning of June. We share all this because we covet any prayers. Because this is an out of state birth, we are in the dark about how this will play out and welcome any advice!
Prayer Requests:
That the Lord's will be done
For the birth mom
For the baby
For everything to fall into place
Advice welcomed:
If any of you are experienced travelers we need advice on how to go about getting there. We will have to leave when we get word that she is in labor, so we can't necessarily buy tickets in advance.
*On a side note, our entire family was recently able to get together to celebrate my grandpa's 79th birthday. We all had such a great time celebrating him and although he is struggling with stage 4 cancer, he was able to enjoy this special day! Here are some fun pictures...
