We haven't heard any more news from the adoption lawyers in Columbus. They said they'd try to contact the birthmom again, and would keep us posted.
We also heard from the Abba Fund. They offer christian-to-christian, no-interest adoption loans (if they have the funds available). They do not have the funds available. Go figure.
I was irritated, until some relatively wise people weighed in on the situation. (thanks guys) I've been praying that our adoption happens in a way that leaves no doubt that God had his hand in it. Maybe that's what he's doing. Maybe He's just setting everything up so there's no mistaking that it was his work.
It's making me very nervous though!
on another note - Craig and I have decided to take a weekend mini-trip for our 5 year anniversary. We decided that it's okay if we have to spend some money to do it - we need to get away and be together on this occassion. We need a break, and we need to have some time to just hang out together.
That's all the family news we have right now I think!
I think going away is a great idea! Glenn & I did that for a weekend too not long ago and we didn't realize how much we needed it until we were there! It was just lovely. Sooooo key to keep your connection strong and to focus on your love. Because sometimes we just get to caught up in waiting that we forget it's us that are going to be parents and that it will change our whole lives!! For the better, of course but you won't get as many chances like this to go away like you used to. So go! Have a wonderful time! Happy Anniversary!!
