If you haven't heard..............we're getting a baby!!!!
We received a phone call a couple weeks ago letting us know that a birthmom has chosen us! The little one will be biracial and is due in November. Did I mention she's having A GIRL!?!!?!! Let the bow making begin! This girl will never be without a bow in her hair!
For now, these are all the details we can divulge. I will say that the Lord's hand has been SO evident is this situation, and our birthmom is great! Praise God!
The nursery is complete with a new rug and beautiful new floors to come (this weekend, in fact)! We are ripping out the nasty carpet currently in there and putting down laminate floors like we have in the living room and dining room. Now that we have all the furniture in there it has to all come back out! Thanks to a very dear friend I won't have to do the moving. He is giving up a Saturday to come help Brian put the floors in. Thank you, Jack! Pictures may come Sunday. We will see how it goes!
We are sending off our matching price now that we are matched with a birthmom. This is $5500. The next and final payment will come in November when we sign ($6000).
Thanks for all of your prayers and constant support. We have loved seeing the reactions of our families and friends! God is so good! Please be praying for a healthy little girl and birthmom. Also help us in praying to trust that God will provide financially once we are home with the little one for 6 months!
AHHHH That is GREAT you guys!!! I just let out a little squeel when I read this! Thanks for letting us keep up with you on your blog. I am excited to see what God has next for you and your daughter!!!!! Have fun preparing.
