So, we got home from Hawaii, and a few days later my mom and Jim came for a visit!! YAY! It was really fun! While they were here we received 3 more calls! At least we are getting some action:) 2 calls the mom's are not due until sometime in July and we approved our profile to be shown to them. One is in Alabama, and the other Louisiana. Then the 6th call was from an agency in Texas...A little biracial girl that had already been born. The birth mom had picked an adopted family, but after meeting them decided she didn't want them to be the ones. So they sent out an "emergency" type picking again, and we agreed to be shown to her. She requested additional info, such as financials and wanted to be sure we weren't on any meds for mental issues or family history of such things. We agreed to open that up to her and sent it. Of course she was shown other profiles as well. In the end she decided to keep her baby.
To make things a little more exciting, more than just all the recent travels and visitors and such...my period decided it wouldn't show up this month. One of my biggest anxieties with adoption. I had actually asked Josh at one point to please let us use protection once we start getting calls so we wouldn't get chosen and be pregnant at the same time. He absolutely disagreed on the fact that we only have so many chances to get pregnant and we don't want to miss an opportunity if it does happen. I spent some time being emotional over the issue and then decided to trust God and my husband and just leave it in the Lord's hands. I mean after all we did get pregnant with Hudson 14 days after getting married and have only had one pregnancy since that ended in miscarriage. So my period is usually not late. The latest it has ever been up to this point is six days. Well it was supposed to start in Hawaii. I mean time just kept going by, and I was like hmmmmmm...what in the world. Pregnancy tests were a negative. 22 days late! MY WORD! Anyway the funny part is that it started the very day we got the call from Texas saying that the birth mom decided to keep her baby. The good news about the whole thing is that I really believe God has the baby picked for us, it's just the faith journey getting us there. So I never feel bad when we get a no, or she keeps the baby or whatever happens....Now having pms an additional 3 weeks put some chocolate, I mean severe dark chocolate on my cake, but other than that...I just really feel at peace about the whole thing. Excitedly awaiting? Yes, definitely. Did I enjoy my chocolate? You better believe it:)
We are probably that couple that has one child, then all of a sudden we have like 3 more lickety split, or something like that. Who knows!:) I guess we will all find out one of these days...
