The ups and downs of our journey to have a second child continue. I am happy to say this time I have "up" news. Last week we received a call from the adoption agency about a potential match. They asked us if we would like to have our book shown and after a lot of discussion and prayer we said yes. I emailed Sandi (our adoptive parent counselor) in the morning and she called me that evening telling me the birth mother had picked us.
This is what we know..... Shamel (birth mother) is 20 years old and has a 18 month old son (Hayden). She has decided to give this baby up for adoption because the birth father is not interested in parenting and she does not have the means to support another child. Yesterday Shamel had an ultrasound and mom and baby are both doing well. Baby had his or her legs crossed so the gender will remain a mystery until the birth. The due date is February 10th so induction will probably be the 3rd of February.
Denny and I are cautiously excited. We pray that all goes well and we will be welcoming baby #2 in February.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
You are all always in our prayer, honey. We love you all so much & are anxious for our new grandbaby to arrive. God will watch over all during this process. We thank him for Shemel & the gift of a new child in all our lives. SO EXCITED!!!!! Dad & Mom
