Things are going well

Hey Everyone,

Well, I think the title pretty much sums things up for us. :) We are so excited that very soon we will be bringing home our first child!!! This has been such a long awaited event and we continue to pray for our baby as it develops, the birthmother of our child, and that everything goes smoothly and according to plan.

We met with Alicia (the birthmother) last Tuesday the 18th and we absolutely loved her!!!! We were told that those "match meetings" usually last about an hour, but we left after three. Alicia is such an incredible person and we got in the car and Jason said, "If I could handpick everything I want in a birthmother.... Alicia would be it." And I totally agreed. We have such a great respect and love for her now more than ever.

The baby's due date is May 31st, but the doctors think that Alicia might deliver early! So we're going to be ready to take in a baby at any time. We are putting the finishing touches on our nursery and my first baby shower is this Saturday (March 29th). The plan is for Alicia to call Bethany as soon as her water breaks and then they will call us and we'll head to the hospital where we plan to be in the room when our baby is delivered. We are so excited!!!

We look forward to sharing our blessing with you! Thanks for all your prayers and support in the meantime!

Love to all...

SOME GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have been matched!!!!!!! :) :) :)

A birthmother has chosen us to adopt her baby! She is due in May and we couldn't be more thrilled! The details of this event have the fingerprints of God all over them and it is evident that He wants us to be matched with this birthmother -- for which we are so grateful!

More details to follow....
