I am at home with Brian putting our home back together following the recent updates. My parents have our boys and they will be home on Friday.
As of last night, the birth father was doubting his decision to place the child for adoption. The birth mother still wanted to follow through with placement. The birth mother is scheduled to be discharged this morning. At the time of discharge they will be asked if they want to place the child and if so to sign the adoption paperwork. We are waiting to see if they sign.
We have not been to see the baby and the birth family has not seen or held her either. The birth family has complete access to her but has chosen to stay away for reasons only they understand. She has not been named either.
We are not upset, not a tear has been shed. We support any decision made. We would love to welcome this little girl to our family, but she is not ours. She is their daughter and her birth family should make the decision that is best for their daughter and themselves.
Having been through two previous adoptions, we are at peace with the process. We completely feel our boys were meant to be ours and if a child is meant to be a part of our family they will be. For reasons unknown God did not give us the ability to have children but He gave us the ability to provide for and raise them. If our abilities are needed, He knows we are ready, willing and able. So as of now, we are still waiting...
