Expectant mom is doing well, has an epidural, and was 6 cm dilated at 9 pm. The staff has provided us with a room for the night. We wait…I suspect our son will be born on March 11.

Adoption Update – March 7, 2009

We are very grateful to have a network of friends who are just as interested in following our family’s journey as we are in yours. Yesterday, I spent the better part of the [...]
Dear God,
When Mike and I adopted our first son, we prayed, we hoped and we waited for the right situation to come our way. We were fortunate. We were blessed. Very soon, we may have another son join our family. We pray. We hope.
