Newest situation....

As you know, a little over a week ago we had a disrupted adoption. The day after that happened our agency told us of a POSSIBLE situation that was coming up. She was due very soon, so if it was something to work out, it would move very quickly.

Well Monday night we received an email with information about a birth mother. 

Tuesday afternoon we got a call that he was born. Whirlwind!

Ran upstairs, started packing, talked to emery to tell him to come home, tried to book a flight for me, packed some more, and ran around the house in circles at times. Went to pick up Isaiah at school and it forced me to slow down.  As soon as emery came home we packed up the car and started driving north. 

We arrived at my parents house in Raleigh, NC at 2:30 in the morning. Slept for an hour and a half and then hit the road again to Richmond. 

We arrived at te hospital at 8:30, and sat in a waiting room until almost 10. Finally we were able to meet mom and baby. We spent several hours with them and even a short time in a private room with the baby, while mom rested.  

We left for a short time for lunch and returned for more visiting and bonding. 

Eventually we needed to leave and check into our hotel and get some sleep. A huge snow storm had started and we wanted to be ahead of the worst. We were both asleep by 8pm. What a day!!

Now I am back in the same waiting room I was in yesterday. The baby is resting and so is mom. The lawyer will be by sometime today to have papers signed. Our agency was  trying to get it done yesterday but with all the snow they didn't want to work late.

So now we wait some more...

That's the journey. A lot of waiting. And prayers!!
