This afternoon we signed our last page of our home study and are licensed!!! YAY!! While there I was asking our adoption coordinator how many families are currently licensed and how many birth mothers are they working with. Her answer completely surprised us!! She has already shown our book to two potential birth families. While one is leaning towards another family, she is waiting to her back from the second birth mother. I then decided to ask when she is due . . . the answer - September!!! What!!!! That's in 30 days from now!!! So here's what we have been discussing and know (it's not much).
1. This birth mother still has the opportunity to not select us. We have no clue when in September she is due and if it's a boy or a girl. We know nothing except that the adoption coordinator is waiting to hear from her.
2. We have no clue what is to come. This is truly scary and REAL! At some point, they're going to let us bring home a little baby and it will stay with us forever! AGH!
3. And when there is so many things you want to do and need to do, but because you don't have any answers and your mind is racing what do you do? You go to Target, walk through the baby stuff, realize how ill prepared you are, and discuss all of the things you need to do, want to do, but can't do anything yet because you don't know how real this might be and if you're getting ready for a boy or a girl. Then you buy a mobile.
Most importantly we were confirmed that everything is in God's will. It is His plan. We continue to feel his presence at every turn. Right now, our child is somewhere out there. As we plan for the future, someone is out there thinking about us a potential parents for her child. What an overwhelming thought. Someone is pregnant right this minute with the child God has planned for our family. How do you even begin to comprehend that?
Once again, we ask for your continued prayers. There are many things out of our control, and we have very little information. Please pray for us to continue to find peace as we have no clue what the next few months will hold. Nothing may happen or our entire world is about to be rocked. The amount of changes that may occur are overwhelming, but we have no doubt that this is God's plan. Please pray for our child's birth mother. I can not imagine all of the emotions she is going through at this point. I pray she has taken some prenatal care and is finding comfort in her choices. At this point we just need your prayers . . . lots and lots of prayers.
