I am just getting caught up now. After reading this post, I couldn't let it go by without leaving a comment.<BR/><BR/>Those were some of the most precious days ever. I am so honored that God allowed us to be a part of His plan. I was forever changed by Ryanne's arrival in your family. Thanks for letting me tag along. Happy Birthday, Ryanne!!! 8^)5KidMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549494934584757212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326105294354327473.post-68066260891953923142008-07-24T16:17:00.000-07:002008-07-24T16:17:00.000-07:00What a great story!What a great story!Jo Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01695876354484360639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326105294354327473.post-63271879074556680302008-07-24T16:04:00.000-07:002008-07-24T16:04:00.000-07:00an amazing amazing story... seriously all teary ey...an amazing amazing story... seriously all teary eyed too...Christy this is very cool...

As I read this, I can relate so much!!<BR/><BR/>Our little Shaun was a whirlwind surprise in our lives as well...we were building a house, and suddenly found out about a birthmom who was due in a month or less. We stepped out in faith, not knowing anything about the gender, whether the birthmother was taking any sort of drugs, and she had never been to the doctor. But we knew that God had this for us...<BR/><BR/>Suddenly, we got a call at 3:00 am! It was a girl! We jumped on a plane a little after 7:00 am, and flew to get her! We had to get a hotel near a mall because all we had bought were a few white onesies and socks, not knowing the gender...<BR/><BR/>We left the house construction to my brother, and my husband's company in the hands of his brother...only able to call and touch base with them from across the country, where we had to stay for over a week.<BR/><BR/>Reading this story, I know the feelings....the intense nerves and excitement...the questions, the wondering how we will bond with the baby....how do we act toward the birth mother? We would give her the world on a silver platter if we could, but what is appropriate to say or do? ...And I know that God was there, every moment, and caused the entire experience to work out perfectly! I love my Shaun Mykelle with all my heart, and her birth mother is the coolest person! She's so straightforward and honest, and I could never have asked for better! :)Marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04249591021805642446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326105294354327473.post-69751153050930347732008-07-21T13:59:00.000-07:002008-07-21T13:59:00.000-07:00Oh so precious.
