It feels like just yesterday when all I could think about was an upcoming adoption. It is now approaching seven months since we finalized our adoption with Isaac, and now it's time to think about giving him a sibling. Things are pretty far along when it comes to the process, and many of you already know what is going on but for those of you who don't here it is:
Denny and I had always planned on starting the process again when Ike turned one, so the end of July I started the paperwork to get things moving. The day after I finished filling out the applications to get the process moving I got an email....
July 21~ Hope (Isaac's birth mother) sent me an email telling me that she was pregnant.
- I let her know that we were starting the process to adopt again and if she is considering adoption PLEASE think of us!
July 23~ Hope asks if we would consider adopting this baby if she chooses adoption again.
-Yes, Yes, Yes!!!
August 2~ We get a call from Heart and Soul Adoptions, Inc. They gave us the very exciting news that Hope HAS decided to place this baby with us!
-Excited and in shock...It all feels like a dream. Next thought of course is when is she due?
-December 25th! Wow! That is right around the corner and puts Ike and this baby 16 months apart! A little closer than we expected, but a true blessing!
August 18th~ Hope has an ultrasound and lets us know........ IT'S A BOYYYYYY!!!!
Please keep all of us in your thoughts and prayers.

Nana and Papa couldn't be more thrilled! Best x-mas gift ever! We are all so blessed.
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you two! Dad said the birth Mom was going to induce on 12/19 did that change? Regardless I know you and Denny will make sure that Eli knows he is the most amazing baby regardless of who shares his birthday. (I am a bit sensative about that)
ReplyDeleteYou two are amazing parents. And I am excited to have a new little one to meet next summer.
