No we haven't been matched, but we do have some news. We have monthly check-ins with our adoption coordinator & last week she had some news to share with us. She said a birthmother inquired about us from seeing our website profile http://www.lifetimeadoption.com/families/detail.php?ID=398. This is the first bite we have had, so we are excited but trying to not be too excited. There is still a lot that needs to happen before this process can proceed.
She isn't a birthmother who is contracted with Lifetime, so they don't have any info on her yet, except maybe an email address. So now Lifetime will send her a birthmother packet and hopefully she will want to contract with them and want to speak with us. Lifetime has told us many times that they get a lot of birthmothers from their websites (they have 100s of sites) to give themselves and adoptive parents the exposure they need to be successful in the adoption process. Maybe this is our birthmother reaching out to us. Please keep us in your prayers as we continue down this journey of adoption & for the birthmother or birthmothers we may meet that God will guide her/protect her (and the baby) through this decision and process.
Just on a side note, we have been asking Emma for the last week or so if she wants a baby sister or a baby brother and she is saying, "baby sister". Chris of course thought I couched her into that answer but she came up with that answer all by herself. Of course having another girl, would be much easier since we have all the clothes already but a baby boy would be great too.
