No matter what happens after this our lives will never be the same.

Ok so here is the deal.

We weren't planning on sharing quite yet but I have come to the conclusion that the more people who take this before the throne the better.

So here it goes...

Friday evening Dave and I went away to celebrate our anniversary. We left the hotel and I forgot my phone. So when we got back after dinner, I noticed I had missed a call from our SW.

Nervously, I listened to the message and called her back.

This is what she told us.

There is a little boy who was born in New Jersey. His Birth Mom had to have an emergency c-section at 35 weeks. He wasn't doing great so he was air-lifted to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).

He only weighed a little over 4 pounds when he was born on Feb. 12th.

Now 3 weeks later he is just over 5 pounds.

He is still at C.H.O.P and is taking about 50% of his food from a bottle and the other 50% from a feeding tube in his nose. He has some blood sugar issues that are causing a lot of the eating issues.

So he will be at C.H.O.P until the Birth Mom makes her choice about which profile (family) she will allow to raise him.

So tomorrow sometime the Birth Mom will make her choice and will get a call from our SW letting us know either way.

If she does choose us... we will begin the journey to bringing home our son!!!

Here is where we need prayer....

1. that the Birth Mom will be given peace. That she will know very clearly who to give her child to. I can't begin to imagine how hard that must be. Pray that she has peace.

2. that whether we get this little boy or not that the feeding tube could come out. A feeding tube in a little tiny baby is hard. Pray that the blood sugar issues will correct themselves and he would be able to eat on his own.

and

3. that Dave and I will have strength for whatever God is about to take us through.

The reality is that she might not choose us and if thats the case we will need to be reminded that God knows and is in total control. We are taking comfort in the fact that God has a Baby for us and if this is not our Baby thats ok. We are just thankful that no matter what she chooses this Baby will have a family when all is said and done.

Thanks for taking this journey with us.
