  1. Hey Toni,

      Have you thought about printing out all your posts and making a book for Gracie?  I printed out the ones I penned from placement on with Nathan and put them in his life book.  Just a thought.  You've got some beautiful words and precious memories that she will probably appreciate some day!

    Congratulations again!

    Glad to know that someone else was up at 4:18? laugh.gif Someone suggested the same thing to me a couple of weeks ago. So, I decided that was probably a good idea, so I took a whole lot of time and printed probably at least 250 posts or so!! Right now I just have the posts in a 3-ring binder --- not very pretty but it will work for now. I'm going to get a little behind in my printing while I'm in SA, but I'll catch up when I get home.

  2. I'm a MOM!! Did you guys hear? I'm a Mommie!! laugh.gif

    Hannah= Favor, grace, blessed by God

    Grace = God's grace

    Joe and I can't thank you enough for your consistent prayers over the past several months and espeically during the past several days!!

    I'm watching Daddy hold that adorable bundle of joy right now --- it's quite a sight.

  3. Angie, Wade & sons,

    CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so excited and relieved for you.

    When I got to work this morning, I ran to the girls room while my computer was warming up....and it hit me. I hadn't seen a Baby Announcement yet and I was thinking it would be here by now. So, I was suddenly panicked. Then, I came back and saw my "inbox" and saw a ton of Abrazo messages --- which seems to typically indicate that there has been an annoucement. I frantically searched for the message that said "Stork Central". WHEW!! I'm so relieved. Anyone else out there as crazy as me?

    Again Congratulations and have a great day with all of your boys!! biggrin.giftongue.giflaugh.gifrolleyes.gifsmile.gif

    One of my closet friends who has 3 boys (twin 5 year olds and a 3 year old) has a sign in her home that says "A mother will sons will always be surrounded by Handsome Men". wink.gif

  4. Suzy,

    I totally agree with Laurie re: the homestudy. We had ours finished before going to orientation. We were sooooo glad that we did. smile.gif Because Abrazo had its own set of paperwork and requirements to handle upon returning from orientation.

  5. Suzy,

    Welcome aboard! There are a couple of forum topics that might be helpful to you under "newbie central":

    Financing an Adoption

    Resumes & Profiles

    You might want to check those out and see if they give you any good input.

    Also, worry is allowed....some. But we try to turn it into excitment rather than worry.

    Have a good day. smile.gif

  6. As someone said the other day. My mind is racing a lot faster than I can type. I'm sooooooooooooo excited for you, Craig and Maralou. I can't wait to hear each and every detail.

    CONGRATULATIONS!! biggrin.giftongue.gifsmile.giflaugh.gifrolleyes.gif .

    Maybe you should have gotten that nursery ready after all, huh? ohmy.gif

    I can't wait to hear from you.

    Hopefully, we'll see the 3 of you for a few minutes on Monday as we're passing back through Dallas from SA.

  7. Congratulations to whomever the lucky Peas are biggrin.gif !! I spoke with Maralou around lunch yesterday to get a status report, so I don't think it's them unsure.gif ? The baby hadn't been born yet, so they couldn't have taken placement last night, could they?? Could it be that Melinda and Albert's little one made an appearance prior to Labor Day weekend?

  8. To the statement "because if God wanted infertile people to become parents, wouldn't He give them the ability to reproduce?" I believe that infertile couples was God's way of giving parent's to children in need due to uncontrollable situations. I like to believe that every child placed was meant to be with the family that adopted them from the begining.

    The thing I think about is that God personally has adopted each and every one of us. So, it's a very natural thing for me to think about adoption for myself since God decided to go ahead and adopt me with all of my flaws (although that thought process took a lot of time, prayer and soul searching on my part sad.gif )!

  9. WOW! biggrin.giftongue.gifsmile.giflaugh.gifrolleyes.gifcool.gif I've been waiting to see a post like this --- it seems like forever!! Congratulations!! We are so excited for you guys. I can't even imagine the emotions all of you must have. I sure hope you got that much needed sleep last night. Many hugs from Tennessee.
