Our Adoption Journey...The rollercoaster continues!

Being on a rollercoaster REALLY IS an accurate description of adoption(and infertility for that matter).  NO. JOKE.  Thankfully, we've reached the point of knowing that God has us on this "ride" for a reason, so we're hangin' on tight and takin' the ups and downs pretty well, if I do say so myself.  I know it's all due to prayers, so thank you for praying.  He hears.  He listens....EVEN when it doesn't feel like it.  Believe me, I've had my doubts and it seems that just when I've decided He doesn't care or love me(all the while knowing THAT'S a lie straight from Satan)...He comes thru and I feel His peace.  Thank goodness for a little peace in the middle of a rollercoaster, huh? 

This week we had a DOWN and an UP all in one phone call. 

Tuesday, I had texted our social worker telling her we were back in town from the lake and that my sister and I would be in Dallas for the next couple of days, but I would be totally reachable if anything came up with "our" birthmom and her sweet baby boy due in September.  Soon after, I received a text back from our social worker that we needed to talk.  I called and listened as she explained how our birthmom's situation had taken a drastic turn in the wrong direction and that she was "fleeing"(running from) CPS, after accusations that 2 of her other 3 children have been put in danger.  I feel so sad for them.    Her plan was never to keep this baby(she wanted to find a  loving home who could care for him), and now she may be losing all of her children because of her choices. Ugh, huh?  Please pray for them.  I can't imagine being in her shoes or her precious children's either.

The next part of the conversation, our social worker went on to explain how we had two(whaaaaaaat?????) other birthmoms who had chosen us.  Again...such an overwhelming feeling that someone, anyone, would choose us for their baby.  I still can't grasp being CHOSEN.  What an incredibly hard decision that must be.  It gives me chills. 
Anyways, we don't know much, but we do know that one of the young women is due this month and the other had "disappeared", then came back to the agency and has now disappeared again.  I don't have any details beyond those at this time.  Our social worker will hopfully be meeting with them both in the next two weeks to let them know we are available again.

Crazy, huh?  Told you this was a rollercoaster;)
Wonder where and when we get off?  Only HE knows and I can't wait to find out!

Thanks for praying.
Thanks for the notes, emails, texts, and talks. 
Encouragement is so, well, ENCOURAGING!!!!  It means more than you know.
