The Waiting

Good news today! A baby girl was born to our birth mom (D.) this morning at 6:19 am after a 5 am inducement. Baby and birth mom are doing well.

We are standing by, ready to receive this baby should a decision move in our direction, but our birth mother has new factors to consider. Family members have come into the picture, offering to raise the child. So, D. is weighing her options. The agency counselor who has been working with the birth mom has been great. I am so glad for the support she has provided for D. through all of this, helping her evaluate choices for her and for her baby without any pressure in one direction or the other. I am also very glad for the support she has provided for us, kindly keeping us updated on all that is happening.

Those who are inclined to pray, we'd appreciate prayer for this dear birth mother - for a clear head and a peaceful heart as she seeks to make the best decision for herself and for her precious baby. 

We'd appreciate prayer also for ourselves. Our hearts are weary.

The great news for this baby is that, no matter the decision, she will have a loving family.
