Maybe a baby on Sunday...
After what felt like a very LONG wait today, the counselor called with an update. She had taken our profile book to show the birth mom. Birth mom and her father- baby's grandpa- looked at it together. There was a Bible verse in one of the letters that the grandpa said that he had just prayed over the baby this morning. Jennifer said that it really touched him. I teared up when she told me that. She said both birth mom and birth grandpa loved the profile and are very happy for us to be baby's adoptive family. Birth mom had to have a C-section because of high blood pressure and she is still hooked up to monitors and baby is still hooked up to monitors as well. Because of this birth mom does not want any visitors until she is discharged. So she could get discharged on Sunday or it could even be Monday. When she is discharged we will meet at the hospital for the signing of the legal relinquishment papers. She wants to pass the baby off to us herself and meet us. She has changed from wanting a closed adoption to wanting letters and pictures. The Hope Cottage counselor peeked in the nursery at the baby and said that he is just adorable. She is going to call me with exact stats, but thinks he is long and skinny- in the 5lb range for his birth weight. I'm thinking I may need to run grab some premie clothes!!! Thanks so much for all of the prayers, comments, emails and phone calls and texts. They mean the world to us.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! A new baby!!! We can not be more excited for you and can't wait for him to be in your arms!
ReplyDeleteLet me mail u our premie clothes! I'm so, so excited for u guys!!! Can't wait to hear.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I can't believe it!!! I'm just beside myself. What a BEAUTIFUL thing adoption is! Give that birth mother a HUGE hug, she is making a decision that will bless that sweet boy tremendously! (My Mom was adopted so I'm a huge fan.) And I can only imagine how difficult it must be to hand your child over to someone else forever, it's got to tear you up inside even if you do know you're doing the right thing. Big hugs, and big kudos to her. Love you Vorell family! And I love this new baby already!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm crying with joy. The verse thing is so incredibly beautiful. I love how God's words are so living and active and bind us together. So thankful and will be praying. Love you and your big beautiful heart, Courtney.
ReplyDeleteSo excited to welcome him!! He has no idea how many friends he will have.
