Some of you may know, but I have not shared with everyone yet, just because it's a lot to process and I needed some time to take it all in.
Last week we made our adoption announcement super public. We are 'FB official'. We also mailed out almost 100 of our adoption flyers. I was amazed and humbled by the responses we got from our friends and family! I had several people come up to me at church and ask if they could pass on our flyer to someone they knew, or someone that worked where they could share our story. Overwhelmed.
That next week, I got two phone calls from two friends or friends of friends. Make sense? That's how this whole process is going to work. So now we have been told about six. Yes 6 possible birth mom's that are looking to give their baby's up for adoption. Not all of those were in one week, but three were. So when I say it was a lot to process, I mean it was hard. Excited!? Scared. Tears. Worried. Nausea. Thankful! Ready to get that room into a nursery. Wondering if I am going to be the Momma to one of these babies.
What do we do from here? Pray. Wait. Pray. Wait. That's all we can do. We have given our flyers to our friends to pass along. And one I mailed specifically to a close friend/family member of one of the birth mom's. They have to make the decision. They have to decide if we are the family they want to trust to take care of their baby for the rest of his or her life. Big decision. I wouldn't want to be rushed on, so I am trying to be patient and wait. And wait. And PRAY!
Thank you again to everyone that has helped and are helping us grow our family! (I can't thank enough)
