Leap of Faith

It has been a while since I blogged. So much has happened that has kept me from blogging, and I'll eventually write about it...but not now. What I do want to share is that Tofer and I took a leap of faith today. We made the decision to say yes to a profile of a baby that we received last night. Saying yes doesn't guarantee anything. We could be one of 100 couples that say yes to this baby, and we are fully prepared to deal with not being chosen, but I have to say it felt good to say yes. A few months ago I told people that I could never see myself being a mama to anyone but Tori, but I think my heart has changed some. We don't know a lot about the baby because he/she hasn't been born. The birth mother is 16 and her only request is that the people that adopt her baby are experienced with parenting and that there's other children in the house. They do not know the gender of the baby. The ultrasounds have shown great progress and there are no concerns. So what happens now? All of the interested families have profiles sent over to the person handling the case. (this is straight adoption~NO social workers involved!!!!) There's a committee that will look through the family profiles and then will choose a few families to interview and then they'll make a final choice. The profiles have been asked to be in by March 1st and they will meet either March 3rd or 5th. The baby is due April 15th, so the decision will have to be made pretty soon. I'm not going to get my hopes up. I'm just glad we said yes. We are praying for God's will and appreciate prayers.
