First Agency Update :)

so all day i have been debating over if i wanted to share this on my blog or not. not that i believe in "jinx" (because i dont) but i just never knew how much i wanted to share before something was set in stone. but i decided that the whole reason for this blog is to keep people updated on our adoption journey and to find love and support from others in this rollercoaser towards parenthood!

so this morning, after hitting snooze a few extra times, i decided to check my email before getting ready for work and the update i had been waiting on was waiting for me in my inbox. it was not what i was hoping for. It said that as of 6/11/10 that our profile had not been shown. Our sweet caseworker tried to reassure me that ALOT is going on at the agency and that it is normal for it to take a month or 2 to be shown. so...on i went with my day!

disappointed but still hopeful

and then another email came a few hours later. it was from "B" again and she said that she was just informed that our profile had been shown at the end of last week but that the expectant mother had not made a decision yet and that we may not want to get too excited because this particular situation is very unpredictable.

we know nothing more. i took it for what it is...and honestly i was shocked that i didnt totally freak out. i had no real information on this situation and i figure if the agency is telling me not to get excited...then i probably should NOT get excited!

well around 5:30 this evening i realized that i had another email from our caseworker...she just wanted to let us know that the same day last week our profile was presented to ANOTHER expectant mother.
so that means that we were presented twice in one day!

we do not know anything else...like at all...about either family that we were presented to but it sure is exciting to know that things are happening! and it totally gives me goosebumps to know that the profile books that we glued pictures into were in the hands of 2 women who were considering us (even if only for a moment) to be the parents of their unborn babies!

tonight i am so praying for these two women and the babies that they are carrying...no matter what decision they might choose. i pray that they have love and support as they are making this decision. and i hope that they are overcome with peace when making their decisions...again, whatever choice that may be!

so im not sure yet if these ladies are even interested in us...right now i just now that we were presented to them. thats it. thats my update...

for now ;)

  5. Hi Christina, I'm over from Linds' blogs. Happy to find you. I wish you all the best with your adoption. That is exciting news, I would think it's not easy to not get one's hopes up, but you are wise to say that whatever the choice you hope the best for these two women.

    My husband and I hope to adopt one day as well.

  6. WOW! How exciting :) Just like one day closer, you are two mothers closer! Your heart is in the right place Tina Lee, God is doing amazing things through you and to you. Your prayers are going to bring those moms and babies to their special family that God has for them whether that is your's or not but either way it is beautiful, exciting, and one of these prayers will be answered with you...soon!
