It's a..

22 week old....

GIRL!!!!!

We actually saw our little girl moving, heard her precious heartbeat full of life, and felt her flutter in excitement. It was our first ever sonogram and something we will never forget.  The birth mom is wonderful! Our meeting made me say this is adoption not what we went through. This is how it is suppose to be a mother wanting what is best for her child not herself. We care for her and love her and we will never able to put into words how it was when we first met. I wish you all could have been a fly on the wall because the realness and openness at our table was and could only be our Heavenly Father. We cried together, laughed together and a baby girl was given to us.  

She wants us to be involved yet she is willing to give up all involvement at birth, she wants us to hold the baby first yet she is in love with her. She wants her to see the world, have a loving family, go to school, have her own room, not be prejudiced, and paint her nails! These are the things that are real to her and matter. This is real, this is love.
