A few years ago my husband and I embarked on a
journey; a journey in adoption. I wanted to share that journey with
you.

Last Monday we received some bad news. We did not get the little
girl that we had hoped and expected to get. It was a sever
disappointment. We spent the first 2 hours crying, yelling and simply
being angry with the whole system. We then considered going to Costa
Rica for the remainder of the week. We decided against this and began
to get our life back together again. I got a new job and though we were
far from happy about it we were doing okay. I truly believed it was
not God's first choice for us to loose this little girl but that it
would work out in the end. We had released it to Him and were ready for
what ever. If that meant waiting for another year, we knew it would be
worth it.
So it was a complete shock and surprise
when I got a call yesterday afternoon on my day off. There was a baby
just one day old at a hospital near us that had been surrendered the
night before. I could not believe it and said "I will have to talk to
my husband". I was thinking, there is no way he will say no, but I
gotta talk to him.
So, I write this this morning at
5:30AM from a hospital room after my first night as a MOMMY. I could
not be happier and Scott just can't stop smiling. We are proud parents
of a 7lb 4oz - 19 inch little girl we have named Nadia Anne. Nadia
means HOPE and Anne means GRACE. Both of which we have received in full
from God, even when it was tough. I am here to tell you it is a crazy
roller coster ride and there have been times I wanted to get off the
ride, but what a ride it has been. It's not over yet, but we continue
to be hopeful that this is our forever little girl.
MOMMY AND DADDY
