The birth mother went to the hospital this morning at 3:00 a.m. Our case worker called me at 8:30 and told me this. It's now 8:17 p.m. and we've received no update. As you can guess, the waiting is awful!
We will certainly post something as soon as we can after he is born, and if you're immediate family, we will call you -- so, no need to worry! A lot of people have asked us when we will be able to see him, how soon we will get to go the hospital, when he's coming home, etc. We do not know any of this. Much of this is contingent upon the birth mother's decisions. So, we wait.
We are trying to keep busy with work and stuff around the house, but this evening, it's been difficult to keep our minds off of the situation at hand. We are praying that the birth mother is doing well and not having too hard of a time.
We appreciate everyone giving us our space during the adjustment period, as the transition into parenthood is going to be quite an experience! We will let everyone know when we are ready for visitors after he is home, and of course, a call is always appreciated before stopping by!
We do know that the birth mother cannot sign the papers (even if she wanted to) until the baby is 24 hours old. So, once we get the call, we have 24 more hours to wait for that. Nothing is legal yet, so until those papers are signed, we cannot breathe a sigh of relief. We are confident that God has brought us to this place, and we are praising Him right now that we are not anymore crazy than we are already feeling!!
Keep praying, and look for an update soon!!

I appreciate both of you for believing this. I appreciate and know in my heart that God did bring you to this place, and this will be your son! Both of you are so amazingly special for taking this step. You two will be awesome parents. Your son is blessed to have both of you! Thank the Lord that your son will have security, love, peace, stability and happiness.
God bless ...
