Our final home study visit is tomorrow. I probably won’t be able to sleep tonight. Once the home study is done we can be officially matched. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😭😭😭 Even though the path ahead could be long, we are expectant, hopeful and full of a longing we haven’t felt (and really because this experience is so different than our journey for Max and Lucy). The yearning for a baby is the same but we also yearn for the relationship with the birth mom/parents and the journey we are on to meet her/them.
Please pray that we are met with favor tomorrow and that the timing would be perfect for our future baby Mayo ♥️♥️ The next step is to apply for grants, loans and fundraise and save every penny we can to make sure all is together for when baby is ready. 🥰🥰🥰

Home study interview #1 is complete.
I've never felt more ready than I do in this current moment. Every mention of baby, child or newborn hangs in the air as desperate anticipation; a dream we've been holding out for, for so long (even before we were married). A new baby that will be transforming our life from the inside out. The dynamics of our family changed in the best way possible. A tiny person that will make a huge and lasting impact. Each discussion, every conversation is intentional. The funds it takes, the training needed, the background information requested (and more than once).....each is a step to our new reality....welcoming our future little Mayo. We are nervous of course, who wouldn't be? Are we anxious for the message that will burst our hearts (you've been matched)? Of course! But each day that goes by is another opportunity for our knees to hit the floor in prayer. We can only hope that each step (whether hard or grueling, or maybe smooth) is beautiful and purposeful and that we will see a miracle of miracles when baby is placed in our arms. As tears well my eyes just imagining, and my heart aches in anticipation.....we wait!! |
