Now that we have finally started our blog i think its time i write about our adoption, i know some of you already know, but i have few people that i haven't talked to in awhile that don't know about this wonderful journey we are about to embark on.
Our little girl is due on August 19th and we are so excited!!!!! Brett and i decided in january that we would get the paperwork going for adoption and this was about the middle of january when we decided. One weekend brett and i took a trip to st. george to check out the school because we were thinking of moving there, but as we were driving home i got a call from my mom she wanted to talk both of us about some exciting news. She had got a call from a girl from virginia her name is samantha and she was in my dad's institute class down there. She had called my mom to tell her she was pregnant and that she wanted to place her baby with a good family that could give her child a better life than she could. My mom took the oppurtunity to let her know she has a daughter that has been unable to get pregnant and that we wanted to put our papers in for adoption, my mom wasn't telling her to choose us but she said she felt that she needed to tell her about us.
That drive home was so neat brett and I just had a peaceful feeling something we hadn't felt in awhile. Brett and i felt like this time would never come to have a family and here was our answer. From this point we started talking to her every other week and pretty much from the beginning we were told that she wanted us to be the parents. So we have been pretty much going through the whole pregnancy with her. Samantha is such a special person to us and she is doing the most selfless thing that anyone could do. Samantha is our superhero!!! we love her so much and without her we would not be able to start our family. We feel so blessed and we thank our heavenly father every day for this blessing. I believe things happen for a reason and that one of the reasons my parents went to virginia is to meet samantha.
Brett is so cute he loves shopping for all her stuff he even picks out her clothes and suprisinly he does a great job. He is so excited and that little girl will have him wrapped around her finger so fast!!!! I just want to thank all of our friends and family for there support in this time everyone has been so great and she already has so many people that love her. I will keep everyone updated on the progress its coming soon yahoo!!!!!
