Six weeks ago we sent out fund raising support letters for our adoption. So far, we have received...drum roll please...$5,000! Praise God!! Any amount helps, but this is great! Each penny has brought us closer to bringing home our baby. Thank you all so much for your extreme generosity. We have been praying that the Lord blesses you all for your gifts.
We have worked a little on the nursery lately. We rearranged the furniture and started putting the crib together. We were almost done with the crib and realized that we didn't have all the screws. So Noel is searching for the exact ones we need.
I've also created our baby registry at Target. If it wasn't for my dear friend Candes, I would still be wondering around the store with the scanner. I did pretty good until I got to the bottle isle. Why are there so many types of bottles? Don't they all do the same thing?? I just don't get it. It was so overwhelming, thanks to Candes, she steered me in the right direction.
We have weekly contact with our adoption agency. They have been showing our profile regularly. We either get phone calls or emails about cases (birth moms) and then we decided if we want our profile shown. That decision making process is much harder than I could have thought. Right now we are waiting to hear back about a birth mom who was mailed our profile last week. She is due in December, so that would give us a little more time.
It is so unreal all the different types of cases that the agency comes across. Just a few days ago we got an email about a baby that was born on Wednesday, the mom decided to place the baby for adoption then, and the baby was born heroine addicted. We just never know when or under what circumstances our baby will be born. Please continue to pray for our baby and birth mom during this process.
