I know, I'm a little late with this update but the past two weeks has been unbelievable. In case you haven't heard, we have been informed by a family (here in Missouri) that we have been chosen to adopt their child which will be born in February 2008.
We are so excited about this unexpected blessing. In fact, when we originally heard that this may be an option, we could hardly believe it. We were even concerned it wouldn't be possible with the China adoption well under way. Turns out that the agency does not have a problem with us completing this adoption in the meantime.
There is a long story but the summarized version is this. The granddaughter of close friends of Chris's parents is expecting her fifth child and does not have the means or resources to provide appropriately for this child. She knew of our situation and asked if we would be interested in adopting. She has indicated that I will be able to attend Doctor visits and possibly be at the hospital when the baby is born. Can you believe it!!! Me Neither. Now remember, nothing is "official" until the baby is born but it seems like this is the real deal. Keep praying over this situation and our birth mother.
Thanks for your support, we'll keep you posted.
