Stork Central 1,102 Report post Posted January 15, 2006 A new life, a new family... what a wonderful way to begin a bright new year! And for one of our couples who graduated with the 10-4, Good Buddies! orientation weekend of 9/05, this new beginning was made extra-special by yet another new member of their family, the oh-so-dear birthmom of their darling newborn daughter. She so wanted them to be present for the birth, they'd even spent Christmas in Texas in anticipation of that event! But when the doctor pushed back the due date back closer to Valentine's Day, they headed for home, still thankful for the opportunity to have met the birthmom (who kept insisting the doctor didn't know what he was talking about, that her baby was coming sooner than later.) Remember the old saying, "Mother knows best"? Well, she did! Her baby girl was in too much of a hurry to wait on our Good Buddies to arrive, but they got there as soon as they could, and spent a weekend together so special, they'll each remember it all their lives. Congratulations to our first baby of the New Year, hugs and kisses to both her families... and here's wishing plenty of renewed hope and faith to all our other parents-in-waiting, whose turn is surely coming-- sooner than they know!

Stork Central 1,102 Report post Posted January 20, 2006 Some say that the darkest of storms are followed by the best of rainbows, and so it was for one faithful forum couple who were also graduates of 10-4, Good Buddies (9/05.) They flew to Texas last month in pursuit of a case that in the end, was not meant to be theirs, but indeed, that voyage was but a dress rehearsal for The Real Thing, which happened this very evening, when they journeyed across the nation to meet their four day old daughter, and just in time for her new daddy's birthday! We thank them for their fortitude, their patience and their optimism, and we ask God's blessing on this new family and the dear birthparents who made this little miracle possible!
