Well, we met with a birth mom named Kelly yesterday! She was really awesome and easy to talk to. I can see us really getting along if me and Derek are chosen. She is 19 and goes to OSU for criminology. She has a great personality. She is very cute with brown hair and brown eyes. She has a dimple on one side of her face (which I thought would be adorable if her baby has one too). I think I mentioned already that she is having a baby boy on August 11th. She doesn't drink or do drugs and is taking very good care of herself, which is awesome. It was clear when meeting her that she acts younger and is clearly not ready to be a mom. It definitely has to be hard for her, because as she is here in Columbus, her family lives near Cleveland. They have no idea that she is pregnant and she does not plan on telling them. She is going through this alone w/ the help and support of Molly. The meeting with her went really well and I felt really good about it, but she has to make the decision between us and one other couple. I dunno how long it will take for her to make a decision. She did say that she wanted the couple she picks to go to dr.s appointments with her and she has one on Thursday. So I'm hoping we will find out soon and get to go on Thursday.

It is hard not to get excited or get my hopes up, and Derek feels the same way. Everytime I hear my phone ring or it vibrates in my pocket I get excited that it may be Molly calling us. Last night me and Derek both had trouble sleeping. It is crazy how one phone call could change our whole lives :o) Hopefully we will get a call either way soon. I know if Kelly doesn't pick us there is a reason and God has a plan. Everything will work out... Keep your fingers and toes crossed!
