Circles

Here we go again. Three more expectant moms are in the system since our Black Friday heartbreak. Again we have requested to be shown to all three. We have made the short list of at least one mom. One mom’s profile was just posted today and we will learn more about her late this afternoon. She is a bit of rush case because she is due Christmas Eve! So a decision will be made relatively quickly. What’s the difference with these moms versus most of the others? Well, all of these moms are African American, so we believe are chances are better with situations. Prior to this writing we have been viewed by one other African American mom, but she decided to parent. And we later found out that if she did decide on adoption, we would have been her first choice. That was comforting.

Ok people. Let’s pray! I insist on keeping my cool about all of this but when I saw the message today about the Christmas Eve baby, I was just a little excited. I was in the airport too so I’m sure I got a few strange looks. Ted and I are traveling to North Carolina to say goodbye to his dear Aunt Augusta. On the plane this morning, as we held hands and prayed, Ted also threw into the prayer “and God it would be nice if you had a baby waiting for us when we got home”. LOL! When we got to Charlotte for a layover we had a message and a text about the new mom. Does my hubby have God’s ear? I don’t know. Again patience is the key. We still need to see the full profile of the mother to indicate if we want to be considered. After all, it is a two-way street.

(Note: This was written yesterday. We gave our final ok to be considered by the Christmas Eve mom ☺)
