  • Still holding our breath for you, Katie! Kisses to lil Grey...
  • oh my word I have been praying non stop for you guys!
    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!

  • What an adorable picture!

     

    I was reading some info about adoption in my province, and it says that the majority of birth mothers who change their mind will do so within the first few days after giving birth (maybe something to do with hormones?)  In fact, here, I don't beleive they will send an infant to live with the adoptive family until its a week old.

    The POINT is, I'm hoping that since you've passed this crucial point, and that even though BM has wavered, she hasn't changed her mind yet, that you're starting to enter a more " safe"  zone.  At least that is my hope for you!

     BTW...is Grayden the name you originally wanted, or did you end up changing it to please BM?  Just being nosey :P

    when it came down to finally make a decision on his name DH and I came up with 4 names we loved and asked her to help us narrow it down to 2 and then we ended up choosing Grayden from there! So no, it wasnt the one we first presented to her but now we cant picture him as any other name! it just fits him!

  • Well, I knew you'd pick another great name choice :)

    How big was he at birth?  He looks like a good size, but I guess it's hard to tell from pictures!

    thanks!

    yes, you are right he was 8-10 at birth and 21.5 inches! they finally determined that he was 41+weeks gestation....long over cooked but perfect in every way..we prayed for a full-term, healthy, plump baby and we got it, praise God! he is currently 8-4 and working his way back up quickly.!!

  • I pray that everything goes well for you.  He is just too precious for words!!!
  • what a precious photo! He is just adorable. I am glad to see that all the prayers and good thoughts are working. :-)
  • God is good!! :)
