It has been a while since we updated everyone on our adoption journey. We are in the home stretch! We have raised the money needed for our adoption thanks to many of you as well as some wonderful organizations that support adoption and award grants. We are thankful the fundraising is complete. Now we are waiting to get that call (in our case it will be a text message) saying it is time. Joey and I will drop everything and head towards the hospital.
I have a bag packed and ready along with all of the things that I can think of that we might need for our travel back to Greenville with our little guy. He is due January 23rd, and we can't wait to meet him!
Please pray for our family as we wait. The waiting is hard, and I think it will only get harder once we get the text from our little guy's birth mom saying that it is time. I can only imagine that our time at the hospital will be a mixture of excitement, fear, nervousness, and exhaustion. .
This has been a surreal experience so far. Overall, the adoption process for us has gone very smoothly. I pray that it continues that way. Sadly, we have had to let some relationships go as a result of our choosing this path, and that has been very difficult for us. We are grieving those relationships but rejoicing in gaining a sweet little boy soon. I can't wait to hold him for the first time!
We are SO thankful for the tremendous amount of support and encouragement we have received and continue to receive during this journey. We look forward to introducing our little guy to you soon. :)
