I've been communicating via e-mail with a birthmother this past week.
She sent me a message through our online profile. I was hesitant to say
anything about it, but have decided to share. I'm not going to give
any details, of course. Communication has gone very smoothly and we
seem to have clicked. She's only 6 weeks along and isn't due until
January 2013, so there's still quite a journey ahead.
Like I said, I was hesitant to share through this blog and Facebook, but
I have been overwhelmed by the wonderful and amazing support,
encouragement, and prayers I've received from all of you. It's taken a
lot to show my vulnerability with this, but I've found a tremendous
source of support through you.
I'm at the point where I'm trying to stay positive while not getting my
hopes up. After a year of feeling a bit lost, I feel like things are
finally starting to fall into place. Mike and I close on the purchase
of a home later this month. I complete my Masters in Music Education in
August, and now this.
Please keep the health and safety of the birthmother and baby in your
prayers. Please pray that God will continue to guide and support us
through this journey of adoption. Even if this isn't the connection
that makes us parents, I hope for the best for this mother and baby and
feel appeased that after a year of waiting, there seems to be some
visible signs of progress.
Words can not express how grateful I am for all of the messages of
support and prayers I know are being said. This has been quite a roller
coaster of a process and I feel so blessed to have your support and
understanding.
Thank You!
