The weather lately has been nothing short of beautiful. Autumn has definitely arrived. The air is crisp, cool and dry. I've never been able to figure it out exactly, but I just generally feel and think better in the fall and spring. So far, this fall is starting out as no exception.
Today I am cleaning up odds and ends around the house. Our home doesn't get dirty, but it does get cluttered at times. In fact I plan to go through boxes I've already consolidated, to "re-consolidate", if you will. We'll need as much room as possible when baby arrives.
When baby arrives..what a wonderful thought. Right now our birth mother is making some choices. Our agency is encouraging her to do what is best for baby and for her situation, and I pray she continues to believe that we are that solution. I'm just keeping my faith strong and my spirit optimistic.
Many (and I do mean many) people in this world point out all the what-if scenarios in adoption. I have considered each of those situations in full. Still, I know that *Michael and I will be loving, kind parents and I firmly and unequivocally believe that the child we are meant to raise and grow with will be here soon. The child intended for us is the child we are intended for. It's a shared destiny, one I've often worried about in years passed, but now feel more confident about than ever before.
*Name has been changed to protect identity.
