Exciting News!!!

Ok, so we've gotten super exciting news!  Last Thursday we got great news...our social worker called to say that the birth mom who looked at our profile Wednesday wants to meet us!!  She brought our book home that night and only ours, and she only wants to meet us, no other families!! This doesn't mean she has chosen us officially, but it is a really good sign!!!

So, this is a young woman from the Twin Cities, and she is interested in an open adoption, which we also really want!  She was adopted herself, into a Caucasian family, she is African American, and so is the birth father.  At this point, he is not involved.  He is aware of the pregnancy but hasn't had contact with our agency.

The baby is a girl, due Jan 15th.  The birth has named her Chelsi and it is important to her that we keep that as her name.

Kevin, our social worker & I will meet with her and her social worker on Wednesday evening.

Sooooo, please keep up the prayers!  We are so excited but are trying to keep cautious as well.  Eli is already telling people he is getting a baby sister and is so excited, but understands she could choose another family if for some reason she feels like it isn't right with us.  

We've got a crazy week, we're closing on our new house tomorrow morning, then meeting her on Wednesday.  I'll try to post again soon after our meeting.
