Adoption Update

I came across this picture from the Expecting from Ethiopia blog. I love this. The knowing that their child is out there waiting on them, just like they are waiting.

So....we have something to update and we don't. Make no sense? Welcome to adoption. Our profile is out there right now, in the hands of a birth mom. She has our profile and another family's. She is reading our letters, looking at our pictures, and trying to decide if she wants to pick us. She is due in about two weeks. Yup, we could have a baby in two weeks.

Because I want to respect this woman who is trying to figure out what to do with this life that she is carrying (a life that she feels every night while trying to sleep, a life that will look like her, a life that will carry on her traits) I don't want to say much about her end of the story.

I can tell you our end. We are wondering. Wondering if we will be a family of six sooner rather than later. Wondering what he looks like...yes it's a BOY!!! Wondering if this is it. Wondering if it is not. And we are praying.

We are praying that she KNOWS that there is someone who loves her and is walking with her during all of this struggling. That she knows He loves her baby more than any of us. That she knows He gave up a baby too. His only son, for her.

Pray for us as we wait to add another hand print. Pray for her as she decides what to do with the little hands she is carrying.
