Need some MAJOR T&P's

So I volunteer with a group that works with teen moms, and last night, I found out there's a girl my director is working with that is 15 and looking to put her baby up for adoption!  I started speaking with my director and a few of the girls friends who thought that DH and I would be a perfect fit!

OMG, this is just SO surreal.  There are so many varriables in play- 1) if she will chose to adopt, she wants to but her mom, not so much, and since she's 15, that's a big "what if".  2) we haven't met yet, we'd have to meet and such first.

BUT omg, the fact that we *might* have a birth mom, I'm just so amazed!  AND the kicker- she's 7 months pregnant!  3 months people!

So, if you could pray for the birth mother- she's making such a life changing decision right now, and pray for the health of the baby.  

I'm still in shock- but so excited for what God may have planned for this little life!

  • Jenn that would be awesome, I will definitely pray for that! I pray it all goes smoothly and that she would allow you to adopt the LO.

    But remember "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life" Proverbs 4:23

    Adoption can be a tricky thing, keep praying but I hate to say it, you have to be real about the fact that it may not work out. I would hate for you to have such heartache after being so excited.

    2 months! I will pray for you guys, but like Christina said, be prepared for the worst. She is young and her mother seems very involved and that may influence her decision. I hope she does whats best for her. And I love that you are adopting! I'm adopted and it's great to hear when other people choose to go down that bath to give a baby a great home!

  • Thanks guys- it's all been so surreal to be honest.  For now, we're just kind of laying low about it.  DH was super freaked out at first (he's all about adoption, sometimes I think he's more for adoption then IF treatments) but just the fact that it would be SO soon freaked him out, but he's warming up to it.  We're not putting all our eggs into the basket, but we're speeding up some of our processes, like getting finger printed, since that can take up to 8 weeks.  I was at Babies R Us shopping for a baby shower, and it was hard not to imagine a LO.  Anyway, like I said we're trying not to get our hopes up to high, but...we're still excited :)

  • Well, you know that I have had every body part of mine crossed for you since you told me!  I really, really hope this works out for you guys.  If not, I KNOW that there will be children in your future, but I am praying for this for you like you have no idea (and you know I don't pray - so that's huge for me).  =)

    Love you lots!!!  And Bella says a big thank you to her godmother for a super fun day yesterday!  =)
