Well - this will be short, no news. What has happened, since I went public with the news, is that i have been overwhelmed by the support and excitement of all our friends. It has TRULY been an encouragement and blessing to hear from others.
Friends that have adopted and know more about the process.
Friends that have been adopted and have shared with me their feelings.
Friends that pray for us.
Friends that are excited and ask how things are going.
Wise friends with wise words.
My mom that calls and asks if we have any new information on our baby girl.
This has really touched us and encouraged us. Some people have been surprised that I have been so public when so much is still unknown (including Chris who commented that someone mentioned something to him about us adopting on Facebook! Word flies on the Internet.). And even if this all blows up in our faces, I am so thankful that I have been able to share this and hear the hearts and thoughts of so many friends.
Status... on Valentine's day we began filling out our application. It seemed like the appropriate day to begin sharing our hearts with our possible new family member. The birthmom went to Medicaide on Friday, but was not able to get an appointment with the "Wizard of Medicaide" until the 24th. We have also heard from people who did not have insurance when they had a baby and it has been very informative. So, we are still crossing our fingers for the medical - but we are moving forward. Things have just moved so smoothly, we feel God is in the whole process.
And today I stopped by the preschool office and put our name on the waiting list for a baby girl in 2011.
