I've been waiting for this day for what seems like forever…and I'm so excited we are finally approved!!!!
What does this mean?
At our agency we are given birth mother situations by e-mail. We can then send an email back to the agency saying "show this momma our profile", or "no we will pass on this one". We are given several pieces of information about the mom/dad and baby. It includes a document with birth mother information such as, name, age, marital status, race, health, birth father information,etc. It also gives prenatal care information, due date, and reason for the adoption.
A mom could also have a baby and then choose us after birth. This leaves us with several unknowns. We don't have any idea of how long we will wait until a match, or if a match will happen before or after a mom has had her baby. Perhaps we will wait days, weeks, or months or even a year.
We are so excited to be approved and waiting!
Please pray for us, pray that we are content while waiting. That the Lord would give us, especially me, patience. I want to be a momma so bad and to be honest waiting is becoming a little hard for me. It feels so close, and so far away at the same time. Pray that we have courage, faith, hope, and trust in God in the face of all this uncertainty. Pray also for a perfect match. A match that only the Lord can perfectly design. Pray for the birth mom as well. I don't know her but I love her and we pray for her. Join us in praying for her!
"I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify your name forevermore"- Psalm 86:12
