Am I Glowing??

We got another call.

Annnnnnnd.

We were matched with a birthmother!

Remember how I just wrote in this post last night how I was kind of relieved that we didn't get matched with the birth momma due in December because I was freaking out about how we wouldn't have the money raised by then???

Yup ... that's the same one that we were matched with today. I was on the playground at recess when I got the call.

Here's the deal ... the birth mother hasn't told her own parents that she is giving her baby up for adoption. So even though she has chosen us as the adoptive parents ... anything can go down at the hospital after she delivers. We don't know if the birthmothers parents will try to make her change her mind about giving her baby up for adoption. She is due December 1st ... but is already 2cm dilated and they are thinking that she'll deliver within two to three weeks. It's so hard not to get one million percent excited about this ... but we have to kind of guard our hearts in case she changes her mind. It's going to be hard having to wait until the day of her delivery to know if she's really going to go through with it or not. So please please please just be praying for this situation.

As far as the finances go ... we got some EXTREMELY good news about that as well! Come to find out that we only need $4,000 when the baby is born ... another $4,800 3-6months later, and then the last $4,800 about a year after the adoption. That is totally doable! Why can't all adoption agencies be set up like this??

So ... today was the day ... the day that we recieved the news that could possibly change our lives forever. :0)
