Our Adoption is on Hold. . .

We recently decided that due to our move, we felt it was best to put our adoption on hold. Our agency allows a 9 month hold and we have taken advantage of that full time frame. Our file will become active again on December 2nd of this year. Let's hope we have sold our house in PA and that all of us are living in VT full time at that point. :) We're hoping that 2011 will be our year with this adoption!

It wasn't meant to be this time around. . .

Sadly, this match has fallen through. . . really though, it just wasn't meant to be. Last Friday we got a call from our agency telling us that the match was not going to happen. The birthmother, G, decided to parent her baby. While we are glad for this, we pray that she has the resources to take care of her baby. She did not have a home or a job and already had 3 children. We are very excited to match again- hopefully in the not too distant future we will get that exciting call.

Here's to hoping for a successful match in 2010. We know there is a baby out there for us and we anxiously await the time we can bring him or her home and complete our family. I will post again once we match!

Update

We did hear from our agency last week right before the holiday saying that G had her ultrasound and all was going well. Unfortunately, we did not find out the sex of the baby. It's really not a big deal- knowing the baby is healthy is most important. G has another ultrasound on 1/5/10 and we are hoping to get a copy of that report as well as possibly learn the sex.

Either way, the due date is only 7 weeks away!
