What's New?!

We so often get asked, "Have you heard anything?" The answer is not really. I like to tell everyone we're expectant parents without a due date! We are still in the 'waiting pool' which means that we won't hear anything until someone looks at our album and requests an interview. And please don't be offended if we don't tell you when we have an interview, because there are no guarantees.

It's safe to tell you we've had two interviews thus far - the first birthmother chose another family and we were devastated. But we then had perfect peace that God had closed that door for us. The second interview resulted in the birthmother deciding to parent after she had given birth.

I have been able to attend two support group events they've had at the Godparent Home where I've met the birthmothers in their care, as well as other waiting moms. These are held every other month. Last week we had 'game night' which turned out to be a great way to relax and get to know some of the girls.

So we continue to wait. And in the meantime, we do have a few other updates to give.

Work continues on the "Play Room." Ed and a good friend laid laminate floors the beginning of this week and we're finishing up the drywall. It was a difficult debate tonight in Lowes picking out the right paint color. I found a delightful plum that would have just been so pretty, but Ed was rooting for Miami Orange (as in Hurricanes). Somehow we compromised and ended up with "Turtle Green." My contribution to all this home improvement will be to paint...starting tomorrow.

In other news, we are participating in the Walk for Life on Saturday, May 3, and we're raising support from family and friends that will all go to benefit the Liberty Godparent Foundation. We have a team walking with us - my mom and sister, my roommate from college, Haley, and a friend from work, Denise. Would you consider being a part of this event with us?! If you can't walk with us, maybe you can give a tax deductible donation.

So that is the news from our home. Keep us posted on you and yours. We covet your prayers and we appreciate your understanding as we filter through what we can and can't share. Oh, and as soon as the room is finished, you're invited to come over! :)
