Hi friends, I just have to share!

Yesterday I got a phone call from Karen at my agency! There is a birthmom (due in June, early June) who is going to look at our profile!!

Karen called because this BM wants to meet the adoptive couple PRE-birth. That's 2 months or less from now!

We do not know if baby is a girl or a boy but we do know he/she is biracial.

This is the 2nd birthmom to look at our profile (that we know of), obviously we have no idea if this sweet girl (23 years old) will choose us but I can tell you I have such a love for her already.

Karen said, "Jami I wanted to tell you about this birthmom because I think this situation would be a good fit for you." I'm not sure exactly why but I'm SO VERY excited about the thought.

I told my mom that this moment may be forever ingrained in my memory (that is if this is our child!)

The phone rang, it was Karen. Honestly I didn't assume anything because last time she called, it was nothing about a baby. I was pretty calm - feeling peaceful about whatever she was going to say. As she started talking though, I began shaking slightly and started pacing. She wanted to tell me some information about birthmom's situation and asked if I had a pen.

I knew there was one in my nightstand and quickly grabbed it and an old readers digest to scribble on. She began talking and I began furiously scribbling down notes on the "Last Laugh" page of the digest hoping to get every detail. My heart was racing as I finished up the conversation with her. Immediately I called Clint - who couldn't talk right away so I called my mom who I believe squealed with excitement!! :)

To think, our story may be unfolding this way. It is of course differently than I expected. R

Remember I thought we'd get the call and that would be the first time we'd find out that we had been chosen. Now we may be meeting our dear birthmom - maybe in the next 2 months!

Wow, Lord I wrote over and over in my journal.

I will continue to hold my hands open to the Lord. I am really at peace...really I am. I feel surrendered. I know that if this is our child, our child...as I write this I am trying to swallow the big lump welling up in my throat. Wow, Lord.

Like I was saying, if this is our child I would be SO very excited but if not, I'm trusting. He knows - I love it that I can live safely and securely in His arms.

Even if we get the blessed oppportunity to meet this birthmom and then she changes her mind, I will trust. I know that if we meet her, there is more opportunity for heartbreak but what an opportunity to share the love of Jesus with her!! You know that could be the only reason God would have us do that. I don't know. Maybe nothing more will come of this and God can teach me lessons through this too.

Either way, I am resting safely in His arms of love.

Praise God!

Will you pray for this birthmom, will you pray for this baby? Will you pray for us?! :) Thank you dear friends!
