Here we go!

We matched with a wonderful woman last night, and her due date is this Sunday, October 23! She is in Mississippi, and we will be traveling there for the birth. We're currently waiting to her from our agency, because she was going to ask her doctor today if she could schedule an induction, to be sure we would be there for the birth. We are excited and flustered all at once! Mike has been in New York on work since Tuesday, and is due to come home Friday. He's been doing lots of financial work for us in between his meetings, and I'm at home trying to get laundry and packing done, and looking for a place for us to stay.

We were hoping to have some of our fundraising done before another baby came, but we are ecstatic that it is happening so quickly. Today Mike secured a loan for us, so that we could cover all of the fees, and we still hope to hold a dinner in December to help us cover some of the costs. However, we do still need to pay for our travel and stay in Mississippi. If the Lord is calling you to it, please feel free to make a donation to our adoption fund. You can use the paypal button at the top our our web page.

Most of all, we ask for your prayers. Especially for our birth mom, and all the decisions and transitions she will be dealing with in the next few days. And for our kids and their stress levels during this time of anticipation.

Thank you all so much for your support! We will do our best to keep the blog updated as we have time and information.

UPDATE: "Our" birth mom is being induced Monday at 1:30!!!!!

S: if you're reading this, we can't wait to meet you and we love you already!
