Currently we have a beautiful five month old little boy...he is our whole world!! We longed for years to adopt.We thank God every day for letting us wake up...to see this angel's little smiling face!! We have been so blessed that his birthmom chose us - the chances of us ever adopting seemed very slim.Situations had came our way, but nothing really ever came out of them.When we were told through friends of friends that this birthmom was interested in us...words cannot express what emotional feelings stirred inside our hearts.Years of hopeful thinking,wishing,and years of prayers and dreams...finally might be coming true!!
We have had this angel since birth.Everything seemed to be going wonderful.We of course were still very worried about the birthmom or birthfather changing their minds.We knew only little of the birthfather however we were told he did not want the baby.Once the papers were given to the birthfather he cahnged his mind and would not consent to the adoption.We were devasted.During this whole pregnancy the birthfather made no attmepts to go to the doctor appointments, or even the delivery...which we atteded everytime.Then out of the blue the birthfather changed his mind - I was to have the papers redrawn back up..the birthfather realized the baby was better off with us.Words cannot express the sheer relief and joy that went through our hearts..we were so excited!!! Unfortunately, the papers were never received by the court house, which means he is still contesting the adoption.The birthmom has called him and he now says he is undecided.The baby is now five months old.If ever there was a test of love this has to be it...We love this baby more then anything in this world.As we understand any adoption decision cannot be easy, we also feel its so unfair to this baby.Bonding issues concern us so much!!! We are awaiting a trial date and just cannot believe how long this has dragged on.This guy has done NOTHING as far as trying to get a courtdate,or anything.We could not imagine a day without this baby...it is so painful and the constant worry...everytime i look into his little face...i could cry.The birthmom wants the baby to remain with us.This is all so heartbreaking...all we can do is take one day at a time...and pray and pray and pray.Everytime I read post on here I cry its so very,very sad.And the saddest part of all time keeps passing..and all we can do is wait.If only this guy would understand what he is putting us through...and especailly what he is putting this innocent baby through...its just not fair.Please keep praying for us we need the power of prayer..We know what the power of prayer can do!!!
