Day 59 approved and waiting for our baby through the miracle of adoption
Well, I guess I can let the cat out of the bag now. We got a call from our caseworker Tuesday about a birth mom who was considering matching with us. As I answered the phone and heard that it was Charity, my stomach about dropped through my feet. This particular case is for a little boy who was born in Texas about two and a half weeks ago. He has Downs Syndrome. Because this little boy is being placed through another agency, Charity had to get permission to release our information to them. Of course, we said YES!
However, it is now almost three days later and we haven't been contacted by the birth mom's caseworker or Charity, so we are assuming she must have chosen another family. We're trying so hard not to be disappointed, but we really had our hopes up. Sometimes it's easy to get discouraged. It's hard not to feel rejected. We know that this little boy is headed for the right family for him, but we were sure hoping that WE would be the right ones. I was already envisioning what it would be like to FINALLY fill the ache in my arms and what it would be like to see Malone cuddle a precious little one of our own. I was already dreaming about the new baby smell and the 2 a.m. feedings. I know a lot of you out there probably think that's weird, but when you're infertile, you would give anything for getting woken up in the middle of the night to take care of your baby.
Anyhow, all we can do is continue to pray that our baby will come soon. Please pray with us.

At least it was a "real" thing. It's exciting to know that at least people are considering you. We had someone approach us from a different agency, but we turned it down because of the price and it just didn't feel right. It was tough to do, but I don't regret it so I guess it wasn't our child.
Oh man I really hope this works out! I know you must be going crazy right now. I would call the social worker and have her find out what is going on just so you will know! My cousin has a baby girl with downs and she is sooooo awesome, her perfect spirit just radiates to everyone around her. We keep praying for you guys and even if this doesn't work out, the next one will! I know what you mean about waking up at night. I am still shocked to have a baby next to me that I get to take care of in the middle of the night! As tired as I am, I am so grateful this isn't all a dream. You will experience that too!
We pray for you and your family every day Brittany. When is it right things will all fall in place. Hopefully that is soon.
How stressful! I know it is a hard choice but don't they know how hard it is on you to have to wait? I pray that you will be selected everyday.
