Meeting "S"

We just got home from spending the day down in Phoenix meeting "S".

It went so much better than I could have even hoped!

She was beyond wonderful.

She was so sweet and so open with us.

 

She had a lot of good questions that really showed how much she cares about the baby.

It fascinates me to discover a little about what is on a woman's mind as she chooses a family for her child.

She asked us questions about why we are adopting.

She asked about our faith and our involvement in church.

She was concerned that we wouldn't love the baby as much as we love our biological children.

She was concerned we would have an issue with the fact that the baby will be "brown".

 

If only she could understand the LOVE we have for the child she is carrying.

This journey that we have gone through for her has been nothing short of exhausting and it is completely worth it!

The moment we saw the ultrasound picture, we were completely in love.

We hope that our meeting gave her peace that we will love and care for her child just as if she came from my own body.

 

"S" is completely ready to be induced and had some really bad complications with the last baby.

The doctor wants to give her one more week and let that baby really get ready before he considers induction.

I of course want the baby to be here...like yesterday...but I know that Gods timing is perfect and if the baby is not ready, shes not ready.

"S" has an appointment scheduled for Monday July 21st. 

She is going to request to be induced again, we will see what happens!

 

For now, we are enjoying our sweet little babies face.

 

I can't wait to kiss those chubby cheeks.

At only 35 weeks, the ultrasound said she weighed 7 pounds!

Shes going to be a big girl!
