Finally...........

We are having a baby! The baby is due October 29th! YEAH! God is so good!

I have not posted anything here because everything has happened so fast so let me give you some background! About two weeks ago I started praying and asking God to show me the way to go in the adoption. I just felt like we were doing things the wrong way all of the sudden. In the past I have felt good about the choices we made and there was really no reason for us to be unhappy at Embraced By Grace! They are an awesome agency! But I just felt like there was something missing. I asked God that if we were supposed to get our Baby from Embraced By Grace to give me a peace like never before and if not to lead me in the right direction. Mothers Day I got up and looked online and found a post about an agency needing a family for a baby. I contacted that person in an email but that situation was from Jan. I did not look at the date!

When Gloria called me back we hit if off right away. She told me about the agency and how they worked and I told her our horror story. She said she thought she could help us! We prayed about it and felt like it was meant to be! We took a huge leap of faith not knowing where the money would come from! Needless to say, my parents and Jeff's Mother came through for us and we were able to sign with the agency. We filled out our paperwork and mailed it last Thursday. It got to the office this TUESDAY!

Gloria called me the same day - Tuesday morning and said she needed to talk to me! I thought something was wrong with our paperwork. She told me that there was a girl that was having trouble finding a family and that without our knowledge she had already sent our profile and statement of faith to her. She wanted to talk to us THAT DAY! It worked out that we did not get to talk that day but yesterday. The call was wonderful! She is sweet with a beautiful soul! She wants a family to love her child! We can do that! We already love her and the baby!

Gloria called this morning to let us know that she had picked us and the baby is due Oct 29th! We don't know if is it a girl or boy! We just know that finally our prayers have been answered!

To Sara - Thank you for making our dreams come true! You are truly an answer to our prayers! We hope and pray that you will become part of our family! We have been praying for you for a long time and will continue to do so! You are a sweet spirit and you have awesome strength and courage! Again, thank you for being my hero!
