It's a Boy!!!

For those who regularly look to the side of our blog and click the picture to view our adoption profile, you may have noticed that the profile no longer comes up. We have discovered this may be due to: 1) a birth mother is seriously considering us and the profile will not be available to anyone else to look at for about a week so she has an opportunity to decide 2) a birth mother has actually chosen us. We have experienced both. Our joy is somewhat reserved due to the possibility of her changing her mind up until 30 days after placement. But we have been selected by a birth mother in California who is going to have a baby boy and is due August 4. This has been an exciting time for us and we are so thankful for everyone's love and support the last few months. Next week we hope to have a video conference with the birth mother and actually get to talk to her (instead of only emailing), then we will plan to go out to California at the beginning of August. We are still a bit guarded because of all the uncertainties, but it is still exciting and we are very thankful for this experience. Stay tuned for more updates...
