attached



We're attached to our little guy. I know it's hard to explain to those who haven't adopted before, but once you get that picture and their birth parent background story it's hard NOT to bond. We've sent him presents...this guy is ours in our heads and in our children's heads. The kids are old enough now that they know that he's their brother. They ask about him...and pray for him. Braden is BEYOND excited about him and even writes about Ephram.

We don't know why this is all happening. We do know that we want HIM. We feel like that's supposed to happen, but we don't know what the bigger plan is. If this doesn't happen it will be like losing a child. I was talking with a friend and told her it felt almost like when I miscarried and she said it's more like losing a child because we already know him. It's it IS a baby who we've seen and we love. We're praying that it still happens because we can't wait to get our hands on those cheeks!

I called the dr. and they can get us in one week from today.
