HAPPY, HAPPY news!!!

Today we went to LDSFS to meet our new caseworker. We updated her on what's new with us, and then she said she had to grab something and she'd be right back. Well, when she came back she had balloons, a teddy bear, and a letter from a sweet birthmother who has chosen us to adopt her baby!!!ITS A BOY!!!

He's due on or around November 13th. We are completely shocked and thrilled! So much for my post yesterday! We are completely excited to meet our birth mom next week and get to know her.

Thank you SO MUCH for all of your thoughts and prayers and comments as we've been on this crazy rollercoaster ride. Please keep our birthmom (and us!) in your prayers and we'll keep you posted.
