Today was going to be an ordinary Sunday in our household. We slept late and had grand plans for things I can't really remember now. AND then the phone rang while I was in the shower totally soaked. Yiftach came rushing in and told me that Elise was on the phone and she had a baby for us. WHAT???? Pause.. rewind. Can you please repeat that?
We are blessed with a ton of friends who want us to be parents almost as badly as we want to be parents. They constantly share our story with people they know in hopes that they may know someone who wants to give a baby up for adoption. This has led us down several paths of anticiaption and excitement to have several things happening to for us. The latest is the call that came at 8:45 AM on 10/08/06. A doctor we know had a patient who came in to the hospital to give birth and wanted to give the baby up for adoption.
That baby was born at 11:17 AM weighing 6 lbs 10 oz and measuring 19 inches long. She came out looking beautiful with a head of dark hair and spent the next 1o days in the NICU. On Monday, 10.09 that baby's birth mom signed an independent adoption agreement to place her in our home and become our daughter. Our life has not been the same since.
