Birth Mother Arrival

Our birth mother arrived in Utah this morning and will be delivering the baby in the morning. I can't stop thinking about her and wondering what she is thinking and feeling tonight. Is she at peace with her decision? Does she have second thoughts? Is her heart breaking knowing she is placing her baby? What does she look like? Is she a happy person? Our adoption agent told us she is very nice and cute. I wish I could hug her and thank her.

Our Baby
This baby is yours
And soon it will be mine.
As excited as I am to hold on,
You must be sad to let go.

Like the women in Solomon's court,
We stand side by side,
With a babe
Torn between us.

How can I thank you enough
for making this sacrifice?
Can you understand
that your broken heart heals mine?

In the days, weeks, months
and even years to come,
I'll watch our baby grow
And think of you.

Kristin, this is SO exciting. Your prayers will certainly help the birth mother, but beyond that, you are about to be parents!!! That is so, so, so incredible! I couldn't be happier for the 3 of you :) Congratulations!
