We are so happy to report that our beautiful family of adopted children has grown as of April 28th, 2008! We welcomed Lincoln to our family and lovingly call him "Our Missing Link". He is as close as an "infertile" couple comes to having an "oops!"as you can get . A month ago we got a call from Brooklyn and Naya's birthmom that she had a baby boy on March 16th! We didn't even know she was pregnant. A week later we were bringing Lincoln home.
This is very unusual to have 3 children from the same birth mom. We love her and know that she has wanted to be a mother so very badly, but circumstances that are not all in her control, have limited her. We are grateful she has had the courage to make unselfish choices for her children. We have tried to do our part to be prepared for what Heavenly Father has in store by keeping up on our certification as well as getting our foster certification...for the "just in cases". Having our foster certification last year allowed us to be prepared to welcome Naya to our family at 4 months of age, after CPS got involved (long story).
We are so grateful for this unexpected blessing that our youngest son is to our family. To all of you hopeful adoptive couples....BE PROACTIVE! Open your mouth when it's uncomfortable and be prepared in all the different ways you can to receive what Heavenly Father has waiting for you!
