Somebody Likes Us

It has been a while since my last post–7 months to be exact. I’m actually not sure if I should write about this, but I feel the need to. It’s the first time in a long time since I’ve felt motivated to write about anything.

For many years my husband, John, and I haven’t been able to conceive. We signed up with a new adoption agency and have been in waiting mode all year. Just recently, we heard the news that a birth mom has selected us!

This news came at a point where I was starting to feel like giving up. I’ve been starting to feel too old and was about to give myself a cut-off. If nothing happened this year, I was going to resign to the fact that I’d never be a mom, and that I would just continue to share my love with my godchildren and the rest of the children in my extended family–and be content with that.

Now there’s a flurry of emotions. I’m excited and scared at the same time. I don’t want to get my hopes up too much. What if the birth mom changes her mind? Even in writing this, I’m worried that I’m going to jinx the whole thing. There are more details that I could share, but I’m scared to say too much right now.

We’ve been through so many ups and downs with trying to get pregnant and adoption over the last 5 or 6 years. So, I’ll try to stay positive and just trust that whatever is meant to be is meant to be. Wish us luck!

Stay tuned…
