Potentially good news!

This week has been an eventful one. Mike and I have been feeling a little down because we feel like our agency just isn't communicating with us about where we are in the process. So we sent an email to the social worker who deals with birthmoms (and one to our social worker Anita) telling them how we were feeling and asking for any updates. The other social worker wrote us back saying we have been shown twice but that we weren't chosen and there is another potential birthmom but she is really early in her pregnancy so they aren't showing her any families for a couple months. We felt sooooo discouraged by this because she was the one who kept telling us that we are going to get matched super quick. This was not a good week.....

UNTIL...

Our social worker Anita called me a couple days ago and said that she has a birthmom who is 34 weeks along and who will probably be delivering early due to some health issues (the girl just found out she was pregnant 2 weeks ago!!!). And because there is a chance that the baby will be a preemie, Anita was calling to see if we would be okay being shown to her!!! Anita met with her yesterday and gave her our profile book to look at. Then the birthmom (who is hoping to choose a couple very very soon) will decide who she wants to meet with and ultimately be matched with.

We are soo excited but also trying to remember that she may not choose us still. We have to be realistic in the situation but can't help but getting a little giddy about the prospect of being parents in just a few weeks time!

Ways for you to be praying this week...pray that she likes us and that we hear from Anita this week with some GREAT news! We really urge you everyone to be praying for the health of the birthmom who has been at the hospital on bedrest for a couple weeks and the baby since it will most likely be delivered preemie. And lastly, pray for our hearts that we can patiently wait a little bit more, that we can also get excited, but remembering that God may have a different birthmom picked out for us.

But ultimately we want to praise God for this great step forward. We have been praying for that for a couple weeks and it is so great to really see His hand in all this!!!
