Our shattered dreams are never random. They are always a piece in a larger puzzle, a chapter in a larger story.

So I just talked with the Social Worker who called to make sure that we still knew that everything was still going a head in regards to the adoption plan, it is just that the Birth Mom is no where near going into labor. The baby has not yet turned. It seems he or she just wants to stay in there a little while longer. The plan is that if she has not gone into labor before then, they will induce on Christmas Eve. I double checked to see if the Birth Mom still wants us at the hospital with her and she wants us there, so we will be there with her whenever that day comes.

In the mean time please pray for the Birth Mom, I know that there is no way we can imagine the emotions she is feeling right now. We are feeling a ton of emotions and those pale in comparison to what she is feeling. Also pray for the little one inside of her. Pray that he or she will turn in the next day and that labor will happen naturally. We know that the Birth Mom had really wanted to go back home for Christmas and spend it with her husband - however Jeral and I will gladly be her family over Christmas if she is unable to get home for it!

Patiently and Peacefully Waiting!
