I've always said that if I were to adopt an infant that it would have to be privately through an attorney and that God would have to drop it in my lap. Well, I guess God thought my lap was empty enough. Here, I'll share how it happened:
I was in Alta Vista a week and a half ago (Martie went to prom with my sister). While there, I got a phone call from a family member who knew someone, who knew a woman who wanted to give her baby up for adoption. I thought, ok, won't hurt to call and find out what's up with this.
We have now met the woman, I have a sonogram picture of the baby, am meeting with the attorney this afternoon, and she just called and invited me to the drs appointment for next Wednesday.
I know that adoption can go either way until the baby is born, but I can't help but get excited. We are wanting to wait on big purchases until after we have the baby, but we'll see if I can actually go without buying a thing....I just might have to go out on a limb and just buy a few things. I actually made a wish list online for my Winnie the Pooh baby stuff. But I'll keep it a secret for now.
So I guess I need to really work on keeping my blog updated. This is the easiest way to share what is going on with all that.
On a different note, our lives are changing one other way at the end of this month. Things have physically gotten so bad with me that I am having a hysterectomy on the 31st. My parents told me that the baby was my reward for having to give up my "woman parts". I guess we'll see. For now I'll leave it at that and ask that everyone pray hard that this works out for us. The girls are so, so excited (as are our extended families).
Our potential baby
