A lot to digest

We met our birth mother for the first time today. I think we were all nervous and anxious and just overwhelmed. But we hugged and smiled and had a few laughs here and there. Almost need to sit back and reflect some more before writing more about it....but my favorite moment of the day was when C (our birth mother) said thank you in response to furniture and items we brought to her and bought for her, Walter's immediate response without hesitation was, "you're family, that's what we do for family." That totally warmed my heart and sent goosebumps down my arms.

Tomorrow is the first step....

In a new journey....yes....we were matched with a birth mother and we will meet her tomorrow for the very first time! We have talked with her on the phone and shared some texts back and forth but tomorrow will be the first face to face meeting! We are nervous, excited, thrilled, anxious, every great emotion rolled into one. Will she like us? Will we be good enough for her?

She sounds so sweet on the phone and really seems to have a good head on her shoulder.

I just pray that God will guide us all in the right direction, calm our nerves and relieve any fears we all might have. I know this is a HUGE decision for her and I am grateful that she is trusting us with the opportunity to parent her baby.

The past 2 1/2 years of waiting, going through potential matches, etc have been a roller coaster of a ride....but I am putting my faith in God that this is the ONE and that the wait will be worth it all.

News to come....

We've had some recent activity and while I can't say much now, I hope to be able to really soon.... God is good. All the time...
