It's official we are matched with a LITTLE GIRL!!!!!! We received a phone call Thursday, August 30 telling us about this baby, then we had our conference call with the birth mother September 3rd.
Things were very different this time the birth mother was told about us but didn't get our portfolio. She only talked to us. The last time the birth mother was given two portfolios to pick from and then we had a conference call,then we found out the next day that she wanted to use us. This time our conference call lasted 5 minutes whereas lat time it lasted 1 hour, and we found out that night that we were matched.
Here is some of. The background on this situation: this is the birth mother's 9 pregnancy. She only has two children living with her AND she has already adopted out one of her children using the same attorney and adoption agency we are using right now. Sadly for her a man forced himself on her and that is how she got pregnant so she is very eager to for someone else to have this baby. She is located in Huntington,West Virginia and Sadie Grace (our chosen name) is due January 7th. The birth mother has been going to the doctor and taking prenatal vitamins. She also not done drugs or alcohol.
If you would like to know how you can pray for us here's how:
1. We still need $4,000 for the adoption and possibly more if we have to do another home study. Pray for guidance on what to do for fundraisers and that God would touch people's heart to give.
2. We would like to find someone to stay with (like we had in California) so to avoid the cost of a hotel room.
3. Pray that there will not be any snow on the ground when we have to leave Togo get her since we will be driving.
4. Pray for our birth mother as she prepares to give her child to us.
