Quick Update

Most of my updates will probably be pretty short for the next several days, but I wanted to let you all know that meeting the birth mom and her current three children went extremely well! God was entirely present during the entire visit and we truly feel like we couldn't have been matched with a better birth mom. We will have so many wonderful things to tell our son about his mother!! Thanks so much to all of you who prayed us through yesterday. It was emotionally exhausting, but I have to admit that it was the first time in my life that I actually FELT that I was being prayed for.

At this point, we are waiting for the phone call to let us know that she is in labor. She really wanted us to be there for the birth, which is something that we are SO thankful for! After the birth, we have to wait 72 hours. If the birth mom doesn't change her mind in that time, we will be parents!!! Please continue to pray as the emotions that are going with all of this continue to be pretty overwhelming. Also, please pray for the birth mom...for a safe delivery and for the difficult time she will be facing in the near future. I will update as soon as I can!
