A roller coaster of emotions
We got on the adoption ride knowing that we will have ups
and downs, times where nothing really happens and we are on a flat road, then
suddenly comes a hill with a fall right after. As we climb those hills we know
that we have to hold tight to God’s word and His promise, and be each other’s fortress.

Three different one came through that we decided not to
pursue for multiple reasons, but those two really touched something in our
heart we never felt before. And we found ourselves praying for a different
thing every day.
So we wonder- what should we even be praying for?
That we would get a new birth-mom profile soon? That wherever
she maybe she is taking care of herself and the baby? That she may find an
agency that can direct her to us? That the baby is safe in utero and so is the
mom? That this may happen soon? That when she sees our profile she may see in
us the love, home, future, and family that we can give to this child?
WE JUST DON’T KNOW! So we pray for everything, especially for
Gods protection, for His Love to be in the birth moms heart, for Him to give
her strength, for Him to comfort us in our waiting, for Him to keep the baby
safe at all cost. Most importantly for
HIM to show us who that is, our awaited and prayed for child.
As we wait we prepare too! The room is picked out, and the
closet is getting filled with blankets that my mom is making nonstop (she’s so
excited to be a grandmother), we have Jason’s baby stuff in the room hoping to
pass them down. We got a cute bassinette
that my mom is making a cover to be soft and cozy for it that will be in the
room VERY SOON, so that we may look at it and pray even more for our baby, and
envision him/her sleeping peacefully in it as we both watch him/her sleep.
During our bake sale people came out of know where that we
did not know and gave us money just because they wanted to contribute to our
adoption fund, GOD IS GREAT! We are so thankful for such acts of kindness of
the people that have contributed. From those who did the baking to those who
bought the baked goodies, we know Gods hands and work are all over this, and in
it we find comfort and peace.
WE are praying that we may receive one of those very
exciting emails soon from our consultant with another birth mom profile and
that A MATCH will happen soon!!
Thank you for reading, for caring, and praying!!!
Love,
Laura
