Yes, we almost thought we had a baby. Friday our adoption agency called. There was a baby born on Wednesday and they wanted to show our life book to the birth mom. Long story short, birth mom wasn't sure what she wanted to do, so the agency gave her through the weekend to decide. Monday she decided she would parent the child...which is natural. Needless to say we have been on an emotional roller coaster since Friday. To be honest, I (Adam too) never really had the feeling that "this was going to be the one," so I guess we're not as sad as you would think we would be today. This event caused us to realize that the scenario doesn't always happen where you are matched with a birth mom months in advance of delivery and have tons of time to prepare. You can get a call like we did after a baby has been born. So we realized we really do need to be ready. Sunday afternoon I went with two of my best girlfriends to register at Babies-R-Us and to purchase the remaining necessities we will need the first couple weeks. I washed everything and put them in rubbermaid tubs with lids, so hopefully they will stay pretty fresh. My dear friend gave us a bassinet for our bedroom. We also have a pack-n-play for the living room (since we don't have furniture in the baby's room yet). We are now ready to bring a baby home...ready in the sense that we have the stuff, our hearts have been ready for years.
Thank you for your continued prayers for our baby, his/her birth family, and Adam & I.
