phone call

So, we have a little bit of news. Our match letter went out last week (or the week before- hard to keep track) to a few birthmoms. Cameron and I didn't think it was very likely for us to be chosen by 2 of the birthmoms due to details that we knew about them and the situations (use your imagination since it isn't important why some wouldn't choose us). We thought that if any of the 3 would choose us it would be the one who has a baby girl due in September. 

Earlier this week we got a call that we were chosen by that birthmom. Can I get a WOOO HOOOO!!?? That means that she wants to meet us. We have a meeting on Monday, July 18 at 2:30 to meet this new birthmom. This meeting will be for us to sit down and talk, get to know each other and then decide whether we will move forward as "matched" with one another. 

A lot rides on this meeting and we couldn't be more excited about it. We are also terrified, nervous, happy, giddy all at the same time. We continue to remind ourselves to trust God in what He is doing. We continue to hold our heads up and take the next step each time something comes our way. 

Please join us in praying for our Monday meeting. Pray for us that we would portray us and our lives in a way so that she can see who we really are. Pray for birthmom that she would feel peace about placing her child into our arms. Pray for God's provision and His will in the whole thing. Of course, we are praying for a magical connection with her and that it would be easy, seamless, wonderful, etc. Obviously we realize that our situation is bred from brokenness and we will continue praying for God's healing and miracles in our lives and everyone involved. We are hopeful for magical.
