Just a quick note to update everyone on where things stand. We went to the hospital yesterday and met with the birthmother for a while. The meeting went really well! After we left, the birthmother signed the adoption "surrender" paperwork, and checked out of the hospital. This means that we are officially in the 10-day "revocation" period - Georgia state law allows the birthmother 10 days to change her mind. So, we will see what God will do. There has been a fair amount of, shall we say, "unexpectedness" associated with everything lately, so anything can still happen. But, God is good, and we are working to trust with patience.
Jamie stayed last night at the hospital with the baby. Which means I stayed at the hotel with the 4 kiddos. We're good... um... yeah... we're good. I handled it somewhere in between these 2 guys...
Seriously, we really appreciate everyone's prayers. Please keep praying for us and this whole process. And, don't worry, Jamie will no doubt put a "real" post up soon, complete with all the emotional descriptions that, well, aren't really me. :^)
On our way back to the hospital to sign more paperwork.
