“A baby was born this week and you were chosen...”
After that it all went a little blurry. Calling my husband. Calling my parents. Rushing to the hospital while on the phone with the caseworker. Meeting the birth mother. And then, holding the baby. Our baby. It’s true what people say. The minute her Birth Mom placed her in my arms I thought, “Of course. Here you are. I’ve been waiting for you. You are my baby.”
Fast forward to more blurry moments. More discussions with the caseworker. Discussions with my husband. Waiting. Praying. Visiting baby. Visiting Birthmother. Text updates to family. Signing paperwork. More waiting. Praying. And then, just like that our little family grew by one.
Of course it wasn’t that simple. There are countless details that still need to be worked out. Decisions to be made, appointments to schedule. We are buying diapers, outfitting a nursery, and spending every available minute at the hospital with baby.
Baby C is just about ready to be released from the hospital. Home for Thanksgiving hopefully and what a blessing that will be. Our little miracle. Our little angel. Our daughter.
More to come- after all this is our never ending story...
Congrats Katy!
