Can you feel the excitement bubbling off this web page? You should. I’ll post more as soon as I can. Right now, we have to call our families. WOO HOO
EDITED:
Okay, well, we haven’t called EVERYONE. But we called our parents so that they don’t read about it here. And we told a few friends who called after reading the post above. Are you ready?
Four-way here we come. That’s right, our homestudy has been chosen to go to the next step – a staffing meeting called a four-way where our case worker will go and basically “sell” us to the baby’s case worker. It is between us and 2 other families. That gives us a 33.33333333333% chance, right? That’s closer than we’ve ever been before. Thanks, God.
The child we’re being considered for is Spiderman – the 5 month old baby boy. (Guess I’ll have to change the pink stripes in the nursery, huh?) The meeting will be on November 8 at 1pm and our case worker, M, said she’d call us as soon as it was over. This could be it. We are excited, but we’re also hesitant to get too excited. I mean, there are two other families. While we would love to get a 5 month old baby boy, we want this child to be placed with the family that is best for him. Please pray for baby Spiderman with us (God will know who you are talking about) – pray that his best interest is served.
Two weeks. Wow. This is gonna be a loooooong two weeks.

I don’t think you will have any trouble painting over those pink stripes!
This is just soooo exciting! Will you go ahead and be considered for Goldilocks and Superman, too?
The exciting news is when THE baby that’s God has for you comes–you will have a 100% chance!!!
I am so thankful you are so excited!
Comment by jettybetty October 26, 2005 @ 5:45 pmJB, you’re right, I’ll be thrilled to paint over those stripes if it means we’re finally getting our baby! We are still being considered for Goldilocks and Superman but have not yet heard whether or not we’ll go to the next step. We could still be chosen to go to the next step with them.

gawdessness: thanks…we are hoping for you, too!
Sster: thank you, we are hoping for this to be “it” also, but I can’t help but think of the birthmother – say a prayer for her, will you?
Comment by ciNdy October 26, 2005 @ 10:28 pmWOWZERS!! I think the stripes will have to be painted red and blue. Wooo hoooo. Oh, I am just so thrilled to hear the news. The waiting is just awful, but worth it in the long haul. Until then, I will PUSH for you all, and pray for Spiderman and birthmon too.
