Adoption

We are meeting the birth mother THIS Wednesday. I am nervous and excited all at once. This meeting will help us get a better feel for everything... what she's like, her expectations, etc...



I'm nervous that even after the meeting she'll change her mind. Like she'll give birth and then see how adorable her baby is and change her mind... or something.

I'm nervous that the baby will have health problems... there were a few red flags in her profile.

I'm nervous that the baby's dad will show up and fight the adoption.



But you know what? I don't need to be nervous. God is in charge here. Ultimately, this is HIS baby. Not the birth mother's, not ours... HIS! And He has a plan for this child... no matter what. I need to trust that.



I'm excited, though too! I want to hold that baby in my arms... study his tiny hands and feet... look at his small eyelids and lips... and smell his sweet baby smell. If not this baby, maybe one soon?
