Hi everyone, I haven't been on here in a while. In an effort to not have our adoption journey completely overtake me and my marriage, I purposefully stepped back from daily adoptions activities as we waited.
I wanted to give you an update - we received a call last month that we had been selected by a BM. She was amazing, we were able to travel to be present for the birth, and after a two week out of state stay, we are now home with our little girl. It was amazing, she is amazing, and it all seems like a dream.
if anyone reading this has lost faith or become discouraged as I had, keep the faith

but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one
which has been opened for us.” -Helen Keller

Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever! Expecting again after IVF
It's so nice to see posts like this! Its absolutely an encouragement. @Bpmg Can I ask how long you waited for your call? (I'm fairly new here) Congrats!!!
