I'm matched!!

After about a 6 week wait, we got a call from our agency that there was a girl who is due 9/25 (two and a half weeks!) and if we wanted our profile shown...Long story short, we are matched! She is a sweet college student and I am thrilled. I am already worrying about the ten days that she has to change her mind, but I am trying to push the negative thoughts away! I will admit that I was skeptical, seeing many of you getting matched so quickly, but here I am!! Good luck to those of you still waiting...

Congratulations!!!! I hope this works out for you! At least you don't have too long to wait until baby is born---and 10 days---though long------isn't as bad as some.

Hoping you're holding your forever baby in your arms very soon! ((HUG))

Sincerely,

Linny

I can imagine your fear, but, if it's meant to be, it will be.

Congratulations and welcome to the "Club of the Sleep Deprived"!!

I am very excited for you and am crossing all my fingers and toes that all will come out as you hope!

Congrats! DH and I were also matched after a 6 week wait and the baby (boy) is also due on 9/25. Quite the coincidence. Here's hoping it all works out as planned!
