We Are Expecting!







So for all of you who haven't heard, we are expecting a baby girl due October 27th. This adoption, just like our other two, has been nothing short of a miracle before our eyes. A couple of weeks ago, I had a patient come into my office. She was telling me about her daughter who just had adopted a little boy and, of course, I couldn't help but brag about my two kids. I told her that Nolan and I were wanting to adopt again, but that we were just waiting a bit. Well the next day she passed along to me information about a possible adoption situation. Nolan and I were extatic. It felt like a blessing that fell into our laps. I spoke on the phone to the birthmother's mom and sent her pictures. She told her daughter about us and she and the birthfather wanted to meet us. H. and R. flew out this last weekend and we got to spend all Saturday with them. It was a long day for them, I'm sure. Their flight was delayed and then we drove back to Green River and then back to Utah. All of that on Saturday. They were such good sports and the long drive to and from Utah was great to get to know eachother. They are both such wonderful people and I feel so blessed to have been able to get to know them. I know this decision of theirs is such a hard one to make. I know that it is out of love for their baby and wanting her to have a wonderful life that they are chosing to make an adoption plan for her. I hope they know how grateful we are to them for blessing our family with the joys of another child, something Nolan and I could not have if it weren't for them. Words will never express how much they mean to us.

I bet you didn't know that your husband's sister lives across the street from us. It's a small world. I hope all is going well with the adoption process so far.
