People tell us not to get excited and not to get attached because our hearts can be broken all over again. That seems true from the outside but on this inside you have to let yourself go. We might miss out amazing opportunities and relationships that could come with opening our hearts and our minds.
This clip is a reminder to take this journey one day at a time! God has a plan and what will be will be! If nothing else, this is another lesson to which will make us stronger down the road.

Month 1 Update
Almost a month exactly from the day we were matched with the new birthmother she has her first Dr. Visit scheduled. This month has been pretty great as far as getting to know the birthmother and father but we know we still have a long road ahead. Although we know the painful road that could lie ahead, we have to open our hearts to the fullest again as it would not be fair to this couple nor would we build a solid foundation together. Our hearts are open.
Unlike our previous match, we have spoken with this couple live, email, and text on a regular basis. We have by far built a stronger connection in the time we have been matched than the previous. The couple is young and have bigger dreams for themselves and this is a hurdle they have to cross. Thankfully we are here to help them through that. The birthmother asked us if we want to know the baby's gender, below is our communication.
"As far as the gender goes, we will totally leave that up to you. When we started trying to conceive early on in our marriage, we always thought we would leave that as a surprise. Now, we are just so thankful to even be here with the both of you! If you want to know, we want to know! If you want a surprise, we do too! :)" -US
"Well then let's keep it a surprise :))"- Birthmom
Our hearts are full of hope today and we are ready to take this day by day. We are excited, nervous, joyful, scared, anxious and a hundred more emotions all wrapped into one. We are looking forward to this journey ahead with our match and will continue to pray that now is our time.
