At the meeting when they told us about the bio family I would never have believed that people like this exist.  Think if the craziest
{J*RRy $PR!nGeR} show you've ever seen and multiply it by 10. Maternal g-ma is insane.  I will eventually think of blog names for these people but for right now I'll just share that this sweet boy is SO adorable :)  He has gotten comfortable here and we are enjoying every minute.  We are hopeful that the outcome of his case will be good but we are also trusting GOD that He knows best and has this sweet boy in the palm of His hand.  More soon...

He is home :)  It was uneventful at the hospital because they had mom dress him and say goodbye in one room then they brought him to us to finish signing paperwork with people from the county.  on our way out maternal g-ma was outside and asked why I didn't have his snowsuit on him but she wasn't threatening.  She just seemed defeated.  She asked how her daughter did and I told her they wouldn't let me see her.  I feel really bad because I did have the opportunity to meet and spend time with bio mom and maternal g-ma on Christmas and yesterday for a few hours.  I found out tons of info on the history of the family.  I know bio mom had no choice in this decision but my heart hurts for her.  She is young and simple.  You know I cannot go into details here.  Baby is fine.  He's so stinkin handsome :)  
We are falling in love already!  I will post more and fill in some blanks as soon as I am able :)  Merry {beLatEd} Chr*stmas!!!!

God showed up...BIG TIME.  After I spoke with the agency worker last Friday I assumed that all bets were off for us getting the placement of this baby.  Mom had moved to another county and I should move on.  The last few days have been all about me telling God that I truly DO trust Him and I'll wait.  Yesterday, my hubby and I left for the day to finish up some Christmas shopping and on our first stop my cell rang.  It was the county worker asking if we could meet.  I asked if everything was ok and she said it was.  She wanted to meet to see if we were  interested in taking the baby that had not been born yet.  (The same baby I was told about a month ago...the same baby I have been PRAYING about for the last few weeks!!)  I told the worker that tomorrow (Thursday) would work better for us.  She told me to come in for a morning meeting.  Hubby and I both were there and we were filled in on some details (some new, some not) and then they asked if we were interested in fostering this baby that had been born this morning.  Like I really had to think about that one :)  After all the paperwork was signed we left and did some shopping for my new little man.  I actually had the chance to go up to the hospital to see him tonight (Thursday).  He is so sweet.  7 lbs of sweet Christmas love.  God really showed up.  I'm still not sure how long he'll be with us.  We're anticipating a few months at least. 
But you already know what I'm praying for...   :*)

It's a boy! :) More details later...  :)

As far as I know baby has not been born yet.  But I found out today from the worker that mom has left our county and moved to a neighboring county.  Baby will most likely be going to a family in that county. 
God is still good!!!
(Surprised I can type through my tears) 
HIS will be done in our lives...

Tomorrow is Thursday.  My days have been filled with hopeful anticipation :)  I am waiting for a call that might not come but I have come to the point where I trust God completely.  Baby boy is due to be born tomorrow.  The worker said that the 16th sounded familiar.  So I could be TOTALLY wrong.  But either way, I want God to have HIS way in this little one's life and in my family.  Hopefully I'll have more to share soon.

Not sure what this week holds but God knows I'm willing to start on this emotional journey...AGAIN!  Baby boy is due soon.  Excited, prepared and trying to be completely guarded.  With CHRISTmas around the corner I have many things to keep me busy.  Today I am taking Mami and Papi to the annual Chr*stmas party through a local group that supports the county.  I will see Arizona, Lil Man, Daisy, Baby Tulip and Sweetie and Sassy.  A bit excited to see how they're all doing and take some pics :) 

Spoke to the agency home finder today.  She seems to think that the baby will be born in about 2 weeks.  She also said something about having to give bio mom a choice to voluntarily place baby boy in C*P*S custody for 3 days.  Her 2 year old son is being TPR'd right now and
she hasn't made any visits to see him in a while.  I asked if it's possible that she left town but the worker seems to believe that she has no where to go and no money to get anywhere so she most likely is still around.  The worker assured me that IF the baby DOES come into care he will come here!  So...now we play that horrible waiting game.
