Got the call...

Yes, the long awaited phone call...

Yesterday, May 19th our Social Worker called. She told me of a young girl who is pregnant (almost 7 months). She's been in foster care for a while and tried to keep her pregnancy a secret for the first six months. She is considering adoption. She met with our SW on Sunday to look at profiles of families who are certified to adopt. She picked us! I can't believe it. I'm overjoyed but a bit apprehensive. It's a very real possibility that she could change her mind. Our SW believes that she wants her child to experience a life that she can't provide. My heart aches for this precious girl. I can't imagine how she must feel.

I'm in awe that she would find something special is us. I'm so thankful. I feel overwhelmed...in a good way. I have so much running through my head. So many things I'd like to say. For now, please pray that God would have His way in all of this. There is a precious unborn child who needs a mommy and daddy. How thrilled are we to even be considered.
