It's happening...

It's been a little while with no activity on the adoption front but last night may have changed things. Mary called us to tell us there is a baby in waiting right here in CT. It's a boy and he was born a week and a half ago. The situation is almost too good to be true and we can't contain our excitement. The birth mother already terminated her rights and now we are waiting for the birth father to fly in on Friday and terminate his. We are praying very hard this all goes smoothly. It's so strange to think that there is a baby boy spending his day today in foster care but will potentially join our family. Become our son. Become Jake's little brother. It's an amazing feeling. I feel like ther is a butterfly farm living in my stomach. We have so much to prepare in the house...getting the bassinet together, bringing up the swing, washing all the clothes, buying diapers and formula. It's crazy how this is happening this way. But no matter what the end result, this will prepare us for any situation that arises like this. So, if this baby is truly ours, this is what I would like to tell him today:
Hey there little man...we are so excited to meet you and hold you and welcome you to our family. You are so special. We can't wait to watch you grow up along side your big brother Jake. We hope to give you a terrific life and a home filled with laughter. We want you to be as happy as our little Jake is. We are so proud to be your parents. Love you already!! Love, Mommy and Daddy
