A new arrival is coming!

June 29, 2016

I am still in shock, but at 3:17pm today I recieved the call that is likely to change my life forever… Tomorrow I become mommy to a baby boy born on Sunday.  According to the caseworkers the probability is high that he will call this his forever home based on the history of his biological family.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared of being a single mom of two under two, but I felt God’s calling to say yes as I have been praying for the next placement to be a forever option.

There’s no guarantees on the forever part right now of course, but within 24 hours from receiving the call I will get to hold this precious boy in my arms and bring him home from the hospital, that I know.   He has yet to be embraced by any “mother”, so I am honored to get to be his first and possibly only mom post birth 🙂

Tomorrow I become a mom of TWO!

The preparations for the new arrival are underway and I am praying my antibiotics will continue to knock out my sinus and ear infection so I can survive the first 48 hours until my mom arrives to help me with these first few weeks!

This crazy journey continues and I can’t believe how blessed I am!
