Getting Close!

Well, we're less than 2 weeks away from our birth mom's due date.  Time is flying by!  She's been 1-2 weeks late with her other children but so far they feel she is still "on time". On July 9th we flew down to Florida and had lunch with her and her caseworker, which went really well.  It was good to get to know her a little bit and talk with her in person and she said she appreciated getting to talk with us in person too.  And today we had a phone call with her just to check-in and see how she is feeling.  Everything still seems to be on track.  We are panning on driving down when we get the official call that she is in labor.  The day will be here before we know it!
Please continue praying for us (patience, health, energy, less anxiety!) and for our birth mom (healthy & safe delivery, easy recovery, to remain firm in her decision, her salvation) and of course for a healthy baby boy!  Oh, and also please pray for all of our financial needs to be provided- unfortunately, adoption is not cheap and it is and will be a huge financial commitment.  That being said, if you do feel led to give to us financially we would greatly appreciate this- we have a PayPal account set up (see the right hand side of this page; there is a small fee for us to do it this way) or you can always go the cash or check route :)  For anyone wanting to send cash or check it can be mailed to P.O. Box 965608 Marietta, GA 30066-0011 (where it will be secure in case it arrives while we are gone).  And we know many can't contribute financially but we hope you will be praying for us along this journey! Hope to update again soon!
