Well, today may be the first day to the end of our desire to have a daughter. For those of you who may not know, we had a failed adoption in 2006 and finally decided to try again, but this time with our eyes wide open. We finished MAPP classes through the county where we live in order to adopt through the state or do a foster-to-adopt placement. Well, we've really been wondering if God was going to bring a little girl into our life or if we were just getting too old.
Today at 11:15 a.m. we received the call that a female child was born yesterday. She weighs 5 lbs. 11 oz. They gave us little more information and what they did give I cannot share. She was right at full term and doing well, but has a little fever so they have to keep her for 48 hours while she's on antibiotics. We want her now, but we also want her healthy.
The boys are just tickled but not trying to get overly excited. Kenny and I are the same way...cautiously optimistic you can say. She's not legally free so we will take care of her and love her as if she were our own every day that we have her and hopefully that will be for the rest of our lives.
More to come...
I am so very excited! We are praying so much for this to be the time for you all to complete your family! We love ya.
