For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jer 29:11)

We are matched!!!!

This adoption has been a journey full of unexpected twists and turns and has led us to where we are today.  We are now working with an agency called An Open Door, located in Georgia.  We received a phone call yesterday from our Georgia case worker telling us that we had been chosen by a young birth mother who is expecting a baby boy.  The baby is due to be born this Monday, Memorial Day, by C section.  We are incredibly excited and also needing to hold this situation with an open hand. The birth mother has 10 days to take back the baby after the baby is born.  Although this birth mother sounds committed to adoption at this point, we have been cautioned that she could change her mind any time during the 10 day wait.  An Open Door has designated local families who will care for babies who are at higher risk of birth parents taking them back.  We are assuming that our situation will have this take place so we probably will not travel until next week.  Thank you for all your prayers!  I imagine the fact that Tessa is now possibly a boy seems strange, but God has led our hearts to be more open to whatever He may have for us and we are thrilled to be having another sweet baby boy!
