Here is a quick update to share God's blessing with you all. We have been praying for God to bless us with a baby through adoption the past year and 8 months. He has blessed us beyond measure. We received a phone call on the morning of Sept. 4th, asking us "how ready we were to adopt". We said we are ready. We found out birth mamma was in labor, so we found childcare for our 3 older kiddos (super thankful for the Miller family!!), packed up and hit the road to drive north of Chicago, IL. We were told she was expecting a boy. So the drive up we were brainstorming boy names. Then once we arrived at the hospital the nurses came to find us and told us It's A Girl! HaHa talk about a whirlwind of a day! We thankfully were able to see her that evening and she looked healthy and perfect. We took her from the hospital and stayed in a hotel till all paperwork was completed. And then we came home on Tues. Sept. 10th. We are so very thankful to birth mamma for giving her life and blessing us with Maria Klaire.
Thank you to everyone who helped out with the adoption through finances, prayers, gifts, childcare, and other ways I am sure I am forgetting. God used your gifts to bless us with Maria Klaire. (fyi she has a double first name:) . Also a song God used in our hearts through the process was by Shane & Shane Psalm 130. Waiting on God to provide in His perfect way. Keeping our hope in Him alone. He is faithful!
