Exciting Developments!

So since being in the waiting process we have received several calls about different children. Some of which we passed on due to different circumstances, and some of which the mothers decided to parent. We have had such an incredible peace through the whole wait - even more than I knew we would have. It's just really been awesome to experience and rest in God's grace for us in a time that has potential for such discouragement and disappointment.

This week we were called about a mom that is due in a month. They showed her our book on Tuesday night and she really liked us along with one other family. To help her decide, she wanted to have phone interviews with us both. So we talked to her yesterday afternoon. I was so nervous with anticipation and wondering how in the world this conversation would go. Once we got on the phone things went really well and were very comfortable - I'm sure that was largely due to the social worker who was also on the line helping to facilitate the conversation. =) There were also a couple specific things that we had in common, which we thought was pretty cool.

We feel like it went really well...we were very comfortable with her and she seemed to be just as comfortable with us. She will be interviewing the other family next week so we will have to wait a bit to find out if she's going to chose us. Translation - the longest week of our lives!! And if she picks us it will be the longest month of our lives! We're very excited and hopeful to hear that this little child is the one for us! I'll put up an update when we have one! Thank you all so much for praying for us and for being excited with us - it really means a lot to us!
