We are adopting a Baby Girl!

We are so excited! Our birth mom found us in May and contacted us again in July. After exchanging emails for several days she said she would like to move forward with us. Our counselors have spoken and it has been official for about a month now. Our birth mom updates us after each doctor's appointment. Our little girl is due Nov. 8th. We can't wait to meet her! We are enjoying preparing our home for our baby. We've been lucky finding some good deals on clothes and a few other baby things. Some of our friends have also given us clothes and baby gear.

It is amazing and humbling to be in the adoption process.
