We truly are thrilled about the opportunity, but to be completely honest, it's a little hard to be incredibly excited because it just doesn't seem all that real.
We met with the birth mom a few weeks ago. Before going into the meeting we thought we would be nervous. But truthfully, we were so busy that we didn't have time to get nervous. In fact, the only feeling we remember that day was one of uncertainty. We just didn't know what to expect. We didn't know what we would say. We didn't know how we would act. But when we walked into the room to see each other for the first time we actually felt great peace. We had a good conversation. We shared one another's stories. We laughed some. And in the end, we both agreed that we would like to move forward, believing that if this is God's will that He will bless. We ended in prayer.
Once we left, life was exactly as it was the day before. And it's exactly the same now. We are still waiting. We continue to have great peace because we strongly believe that God is in control. We KNOW that He will unite us with the baby He wants us to bring into our home. We'd like to be certain that this baby girl is "the one" but we are all too aware of the possibilities.
So we continue on, trusting God. We are continuing to decorate a gender-neutral nursery. We continue to pray for God to bless us with the funds we need to fully finance the adoption. We continue to educate ourselves about adoption and parenting. And we continue to wait.
We really are excited. But it's a "cautious" excitement. It's a prayerful excitement. We're hopeful. We are still waiting...still waiting on God.
Thank you for your prayers. Be sure that we will keep you posted.
