We have kept this amazing news to ourselves for quiet some
time now, mainly because of fear, of the many scary things that people tell you
about adoption, and the countless yet unnecessary blogs I read about it. But we
started this journey with you all, and because of your help and prayers we have
gotten this far.
We have trusted in the Lord plans since day one, trusted
that he would provide the way and will guide our every steps. And he has just done
that- “1 Samuel 1:27” tells us the beautiful story of Hannah, the Lord too has
heard our prayer and has a baby for us.
A baby
girl that we have not met yet, and wont be born for another few months
has stolen our heart.
WE WERE MATCHED, WE WERE CHOSEN, by a birth-mom, who saw God
in us and decided to chose us to parent the baby she is carrying. We got the call in November a few days before
thanksgiving from the agency; this sweet birth-mom chose us (and not because of
my pink shoes) she chose us because of HIM because of God.
We were speechless, motionless, and in shock, I wasn’t sure
if I should cry, jump, scream or just sit there and play the conversation over
and over in my head (which is what I did) As Jason got home, we hugged with
such joy, and peace in our heart, “an unexplainable peace that only comes from
God.” We then trusted in this plan, and were (are) over joyous, and over the
moon “PARENTS TO BE.”
At the time of match we did not the sex of the baby… we weren’t
really concerned about that. But our joy didn’t stop there, birth-mom wanted us
to be there the day of the gender ultrasound, and we were. We met her, and
spend some time with her, a few hours later as we stood in the sonographers
room, it was right there in the big screen, what the sonographer called “there’s
the lines,” her heartbeat her little perfect head, I held back my tears, because I knew this would be harder for
birth-mom. But as I turned to look at my sweet husband my heart was full, his
very handsome dimples were extra dimply and his cheeks rosy as could be. I then
knew she had already stolen our hearts. Every day that goes by we thank God for
walking every single step with us, for guiding us and protecting us. And know
He will continue to do just that, until we hold our little baby in our arms.
It will be 1095 days a few weeks before her due date that we
started praying to become parents, it has been a long rough road, with many
tears, LOTS of waiting, and SOME MORE waiting. But all along God had a plan, a
child, for us.
We have started “nesting” and preparing for her arrival,
each and every day her nursery is coming along, and she will be what she
already is, a princess of God, a little angel, OUR little miracle.
We will continue to pray without ceasing, for her to make it
to our arms, for the birth-mom to find comfort and peace in knowing that she
will always know how much she is loved not just by Jason, and me but also by
her. This little baby is so prayed for,
so dreamt of, so wished for, and I know God has great plans for her!
Please friends continue to pray for the remaining time of
birth-moms pregnancy, for a good delivery, for the placement to be full of God,
and comfort, and for this little angel that has already changed our world.
“How can someone so small hold my heart so tightly, when I don’t
even know you, but I love you completely”
