Good Stuff Going On Here!

My friend sent me this today and asked if this was how I was feeling. Why yes, that just about sums it up. For me, for our family. Things are FINALLY moving forward with sweet Baby M. We're thisclose to adoption. I didn't go to court today. My hubby wanted to go and have a chance to speak to bio dad and show his support to. He said it was a bit emotional. Everyone was commended bio dad on making a good choice for his son. We are over the moon. I want to hug bio dad, I know he loves his son and I know this choice was very hard for him. I'm very hopeful for an ongoing open adoption.

Then to totally change the subject. I just found out that we're going to Forks again next summer/fall. Johnny has to go to Seattle for work and I found that VERY unfair. But we figured out that I can fly out after him, spend three whole days in Forks and it will only cost 2 vacation days. And my mommy already agreed to watch the kiddos. (hopefully all 5 of them will be officially ours by then). I know there's a whole world to see, but ohhhh how I adore Washington!

And this happened:
I said to Carleigh's OT "I know we're not the perfect home for her, but..." and she stopped me dead in my sentence and said "Let me step out of my OT role and into a friend role, God DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES, it's no coincidence that she's here, God knew she'd be here from the day she was born. It's easy to get caught up in all her diagnoses and what we have to fix. It's no surprise that to God that she's this way. We don't know why, but there's a reason. And I firmly believe God put her in this family to help her and heal her, for a reason, He makes no mistakes." 

So all in all a very lovely day. Soon, oh so soon, I'll be posting pictures of my baby boy for all to see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
