My Ebenezer

Thank you for praying faithfully for us yesterday as we went to our first visit. I know God was with us and after a little initial nervousness, I was completely relaxed. We got to meet birthmom and birthdad, maternal grandmother and paternal grandparents. All went very well.

For privacy reasons, I can’t really say much about the visit or the people involved. I will tell you that we feel even better at our chances for adoption based on this visit. The best news is that I got pictures of everyone so I will have them for the kids.

The next big step is a meeting on Tuesday that will give us even more of an idea as to what will happen. So, if I could continue to beg for your prayers, please pray for the meeting this Tuesday at 1pm. Pray for everyone involved – that we will all seek what is best for these precious babies. We are a little apprehensive about this meeting – right now the birthfamily doesn’t seem to realize the severity of this situation but I believe that will be made clear at this meeting.

I’ll keep you posted as much as I can. Just know that Speedy and Princess are fine – there was really no response at all to the visit from them. Speedy continues to be his hilarious and fun-loving self and Princess is growing by the minute. I can’t wait until I can really share pictures of them – they are so beautiful! And so much fun!

I heard Brien talking to Princess last night: “Hi little Princess…..you know, mommy used to be the princess before you came along. Now she’s the Queen and you’re our little Princess.”

Also, when Brien came home from work on Thursday, I brought Speedy outside and I said, “go give daddy a big hug and a kiss”! He ran squealing to Brien and jumped up into his arms. I don’t know who was smiling more, Brien or Speedy.
