A Possible Match??

As mentioned before, the purpose of this blog is to keep you posted on the ups and downs of our adoption experience - - - if you were on our journey with us in the adoption of Adia you will remember that it was quite the roller coaster ride.  Will this one be the same?  Who knows? 

We have been busy trying to get things ready for when we might receive that special call.  We found an awesome deal on a crib mattress, but are still keeping our eyes open for a crib. :)  Don't worry, we do have a bassinet, so the baby will have a place to sleep until we find one. :)  We closed on our adoption loan yesterday so we will wait to receive the funds from that which should be within the next week.  Our prayer is that we won't have to pay too long on that loan before we actually are blessed with a child, but we wanted to be "ready" in case something came up at the last minute like Adia did.

I needed to call our social worker, and had tried to reach her yesterday but could not reach her.  If you know anything about our social worker, she is incredibly difficult to reach.  She is so busy caring for others, etc, that she is literally running all day long.  She hosts birth parents, adoptive parents, etc, in her home for as long as they need a place to stay, etc.  Anyway - - I finally was able to reach her this morning around 9:00 a.m.    She couldn't talk long because of an emergency that had taken place.  She did mention that she was glad I had called and was keeping us in mind for a mixed race little boy whose mom was/is in jail.  These are all the details that I know!  So many questions I would like to ask.....  Anyway, I asked her if I should call her back later and she said yes.   So, I plan to retry later today and if I can't reach her, try again tomorrow.  Will this be a possible match?  I don't know, but we have to treat each case that comes along as a possibility because one day, in God's timing, it will be the right one!!  Thank you for praying and going on this journey with us!!

  2. That's the problem - - I don't know anything! :( I don't know if he's been born or what? Would like to know if there have been drugs involved, etc. So many questions for this wondering mind! :)
