Adoption situation update ~ We are Chosen~

I spoke with our facilitator today to see if the bmom had made any choices yet, she said, yes, she has selected you guys :o)
OMG! We will be setting up a time, possibly tom. evening to speak with the bmom...wow!
She is about 31 wks now. We still have to go over stuff and consider some things, but we feel so very cautiously excited for this situation.
Please continue to pray with us that the best decision is made for this child.
Thank you!

We wait as Bmom looks at profiles

Okay, when we got the call on Monday that a Bmom had seen our info and expressed an interest in us (our facilitator told her she wasn't sure we were still available so she could run the situation by us) and we needed to decide if we wanted to be considered for her particular situation, we got excited...this was our first call (I was shaking, hyperventilating and smiling ear to ear). I called Josh at work and told him about this situation. We discussed it and both decided to pursue it. I called our facilitator back and told her that we both were fine with the situation and she said good, she'd give Bmom our profile to look through and call us tom. (yest.). No call yest. that's ok, I know these things take time, but as yest. came and went and we waited, I realized something...we want this baby. All of us, my whole family would love this to be the child for us.
So, we wait...again and see.
I keep telling myself to think with my head and not my heart...that was pretty easy until yest. afternoon when I started really wanting this.
I honestly just pray for this Bmom while she makes this amazingly tough decision.
We pray she chooses us if this is the baby God has meant for us. We'd then have to wait and make sure the baby checks out okay on exam as Bmom hasn't had any prenatal care.
Please pray with us for all involved in this situation and we'll update as soon as we know anything.
Thank you!

2 mos. waiting today and a call

We got a call today from our facilitator. She has a bmom who expressed interest in us and she wanted to know if we were interested in the situation. Josh and I decided early on we wanted to adopt a Caucasian baby. In this situation, the bmom is Caucasian and the bfather is Hispanic.
We are both okay with this and feel God will bring us to "our" child. I spoke with Josh to be sure he wanted to pursue the situation we were presented with and I then called back our facilitator and said, yes, we would be interested. She said she'd have bmom look at our profile and she'd be in touch with us again tomorrow.
I got lots of info on bmom...nothing I want to go into now, except that she is due around Christmas.
Please pray with us that the right decision is made by all. Thanks!

2 months waiting

Today marks two months since beginning our wait to adopt. More later...

Another poem

I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today,
I asked, "What makes a Mother?"
And I know I heard him say:
A Mother has a baby,
This we know is true
But, God, can you be a mother
When your baby's not with you?

Yes, you can, he replied
With confidence in his voice,
I give many women babies,
When they leave it is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime,
And others for the day,
And some I send to feel your womb,
But there's no need to stay.

I just don't understand this God,
I want my baby here.

He took a breath,
and cleared his throat,
And then I saw a tear.
I wish I could show you,
What your child is doing Here...

If you could see your child smile
With other children and say,
"We go to earth to learn our lessons
of love and life and fear,
but My mommy loved me so much
I got to come straight here!"
I feel so lucky to have a Mom who had so much love for me,
I learned my lessons very quickly,
My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh so much
But I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep,
On her pillow is where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek,
And whisper in her ear,
"Mommy, Please don't be sad today,
I'm your baby and I am here"

So you see my dear sweet one,
Your children are okay.
Your babies are here in My home,
And this is where they'll stay.
They'll wait for you with Me,
Until your lessons there are through,
And on the day that you come home,
they'll be at the gates waiting for you

So now you see
What makes a Mother,
It's the feeling in your heart,
It's the love you had so much of
Right from the very start.

How we celebrated our 2 year Anniversary

Josh and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary today. We can't believe it has been 2 years already. I just wanted to post and say how much I love him. He is a wonderful husband and truly a wonderful man. We agreed not to spend money on each other as we need to save it for our adoption. I bought DH a card and wrote from my heart what he means to me. DH came home from work with a dozen roses and we went to dinner (a gift from my Mom and Dad) and then a movie (Chunky's Cinema) where we had coffee and split a huge piece of yummy fudge cake. We then got home and had champagne and talked with each other about life, love and our future (he thinks that on our next Anniversary we will have a baby, we shall see). I just love how he made it a very special night for us. I feel so blessed that God brought him into my life.
As Josh wrote on my card and what we said as we toasted: 2 down, many more to come!

Our 2nd Wedding Anniversary

Is today :o)
Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband! I love you more and more as times goes by. Can't wait to celebrate tonight with dinner and a movie.
My Mom and Dad gave us a card, 2 bottles of Champagne and some moolaa to go out and celebrate.
I wouldn't want to know life without my Joshaboo. Thank you God for bringing him into my life.
