News!

It is with a hopeful heart and many, many tears that I say, we've been matched. I say this because we have just been through so much it's hard to be excited. We thought we had matched last month but it didn't work out. I was already at the point I was ready to give up, then a few days later I got a phone call about "C", our birthmom. She seems really great. I have had several long conversations with her and I think that this is it. "C" is due March 1, 2008 and we don't know yet what she is having. She is in Southern California so, it's hard too because I feel like she is so far away. I just would love to be there for dr's appointments and things like that. I always thought that when we were finally matched I would have this magical, excited feeling and I just don't yet. Maybe its because its so early and March is so far away. I know though that this is the one, I am confident of that. I have to have faith and hope because sometimes thats all I have to go on. For all of you out there praying for us, please continue to do so!

We also have several other things happening in our lives. Right now we have legal custody of my nieces Aubrey and Allison. It is just temporary, for about 6 months. Life is very different when you throw a 6 yr old and a 4 yr old in the mix!!!! So they keep me very busy. Also, Jeremy will soon be taking a new job. He has for the past several months been going through the hiring process with the Border Patrol and I am excited to say he will soon be going to Artesia, New Mexico to training. It is a very rigorus training and it takes 5 months.

Well, I will wrap things up for now, it's bedtime!!!!

and time will fly, especially since you have your nieces!! They will keep you so busy you'll look up and March will be here!!!
congratulations to you guys. I felt so bad for you with all the disappointments. I am a Commonwealth family too, but we got to Kaz 2 days before they announced their doors were closing. We have had the best 10 weeks in Kaz we ever dreamed possible, meeting our daughter and being taken care of by the best team EVER!

God is good and all this stuff had to happen for you to be united with your birth mom of your child.
I am so so so happy to read your news. :)

God bless you and your new baby!!
