Match Story - Part 4

"B" was at the hospital when she called to make sure we still wanted our profile to be shown to "K".

She was with a birth mom who was in labor.

She told me she would try to get someone over to show "K" our profile.

That evening at 6, "B" shot me a text saying that we would have an answer that night.

Well 6 turned into 10 and still no word.

 

I was not frustrated that night.

Just peaceful knowing that God had this.
I have also spent enough time around adoption agencies to know that this is completely normal.
They have crazy, around the clock jobs.

 

The next morning I had a bible study at church.  I brought my phone just in case we got a call from "B"

Gavin's truck is in the shop so he dropped me off in my car that morning.

Well wouldn't you know that I left my phone in the car!

To say the least, I was a little bit distracted that morning thinking about if "B" had called.

 

At the very end of the small group meeting, Gavin showed up.

Our small group leader let me know that "there was a bearded man looking for me".

I stepped into the hall where Gavin told me that we had been picked!

 

I let out a very loud squeal and then started bawling like a baby.

I am not an emotional woman but these two years of adopting is enough to make me crazy.

The idea of someone just saying "sure you can have a baby in three months" was completely overwhelming.
So I cried for a bit and then fixed my makeup and went back into my bible study.

I then got to tell all of my "sisters" who were very excited to hear the good news. 
I love having such a supportive church family!

On our way home, we got to work calling all of the grandparents, great grandparents, aunts and uncles.
Honestly the day went by in a blur...it was like a dream.

A few days later, we traveled down to Phoenix to meet with the agency. 
We are working with Building Arizona Families and so far we LOVE them.
They are very personable and we feel they will really be there for us during this journey.
We are praising God for His provision and encouraged by the journey ahead of us.

A Little Bit About Our Baby.
We do not know if it is a boy or girl yet. 
We are not sure if we are going to find out. 
We will see if "K" makes it in for an ultrasound.  Even if she does get an ultrasound, we go back and forth on whether or not we want to know.
We are not sure about the due date.  "K" has guessed May but without an ultrasound, its hard to tell.  Because of certain circumstances within the pregancy, there is a good chance the baby will come early.  So we are guessing April.
The babies birth mom is Spanish and the Birth father is African American...is that going to make a pretty baby or what?!?!
"K" is VERY petite and adorable.
The birth father who we will call "W" is a huge son of a gun!
I wonder who the baby will take after.

So until April(or May) I will spend much of my time dreaming about what this little one will look like, smell like, and act like.
I will spend a large amount of time praying for ALL of our children and a good amount of time praying for "K" and "W".
I will be rejoicing at how gracious my God is!
Thank you friends for celebrating this precious gift with us!
