The power of blogs

So there are still some details to tell you. Remember I mentioned that a fellow blogger told me about this adoption lead? Well, this blogger was the one. I am eternally grateful to her!

She and her husband are also generously opening up their home to us when we come to pick up our baby. I can't wait to meet them!

It's funny because I always had a hunch that we would hear about our baby from a blogger. A few others have also been kind enough let me know about leads over the last several months, which always amazed me that people were thinking of us. The blogs were bringing us more hope than our agency was!

I can't say enough about this blog community. Between sending me leads, actually linking me to a baby we will pick up in the coming days, giving so generously to our adoption fund (you have no idea how much that has seriously, seriously helped us reach our goal), and your prayers (oh, your prayers!) all of you have blown me away. As one dear friend told me the other day, as the Church community, we are called to all play a part in bringing up our children and this is part of that. You are all a part of that!

Seriously, this community is so powerful.

One other detail I found out the other day - the reason the original couple backed out of adopting this baby is because the wife just found out she was pregnant. Interesting, huh?

On another note, I have a little nervousness this morning that something could fall through, but now I am left to trust. That's what it's always about, after all!
