Today was a sad day. Today I packed up the baby that I love like my own and prepared to say goodbye.
For the past six years I have dreamed of being a Mom. I have tortured my body and marriage in attempts to get pregnant. I became a foster parent, which is very fulfilling, but only provides a brief opportunity for us to parent before we return our children back to the unknown.
At 9pm, I was on the couch holding my sleeping 6 month old for the last night when I got a text from C letting me know that she gave my number to S and that S was asking about if we wanted to adopt.
S sent a text telling me that there was an email sent out from her adoption agency about a newborn baby girl with special needs who needed a family. She asked if we might be interested. She said she would forward the information to me when she got home.
A few emails, texts, and one call later we said, "Yes". We want to be considered for this baby.
S sent a very nice email to the head of the adoption agency recommending us at 11pm.
I had no idea that "Yes" would change our lives....
