Well... it's official and it feels great!! Due date Feb 14th! The birth mom's name is Nakita. She's 23. She has 2 boys right now, one is 6 and the other is 3. Her kids are her world and she wants the best life for them, which is amazing. She spends a lot of time with them and is involved with their school and part of the PTO. She realizes that she cannot afford another child financially and she is unable to give them what they need. She is getting governmental assistance now and decided it would be best for her unborn child to give them up for adoption. I have a lot of respect for her in making that decision. So we have officially been matched with Nakita. She had a doctor's appt a few days ago to find out the sex but the umbilical cord was in the way and they couldn't tell. She was going back in today to find out, but we haven't heard anything yet :o) She has said that she wants us to be in the delivery room with her and she has said she does not want to hold the baby after its born because its not 'her' baby it will be 'ours'. Which I think is really neat. I'm sure it is going to be difficult for her, but she is preparing herself and has a lot of support from the agency. Although it's not 100% for sure with adoption, we are very excited and confident that it will go through :o) Thanks for the prayers! I'll keep everyone updated when we get the word on the gender!
