Adoption

We got the call today. AND the baby today. :)

Long story short, after being told last week that there just "weren't any birthmothers", I got the call at LUNCH today that we were not only matched, but baby was born Saturday, birth-mom was ready to be discharged but was waiting to meet us! CRAZIEST 3 HOURS OF MY LIFE but long story short we met her, we loved her, we left with our baby!

I can't believe that I was just complaining about feeling discouraged- this can truly happen in a second y'all! Our agent says they call these "Blessing Babies" because they just fall from heaven. :)  We are so smitten with her and though none of this feels real yet, we are LOVING having her in our home! 

 

and I have a pic to post but can't for the life of me figure out how to in chrome! Help?!

    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!
