Baby!

Well it happened.  Yesterday, Thursday October 13th,  we got an urgent call from our caseworker saying there was a baby in Tucson if we wanted it!  After scrambling around like crazy people we threw stuff together, and drove to Tucson to meet our future son.  We are naming him Nathan Carlyle.  He weighs 8 lbs 4oz and was born at 3:35 AM on October 13th.  He is 21 inches long.  Birth Mom had virtually no pre-natal care but he is healthy and doing well!  Unfortunately at this time Birth Mom is pursuing a closed adoption.  We are praying that at some point she will be willing to have some sort of open relationship with us and Nathan.  Currently Birth Dad is out of the picture, we only have a first name to go by.  The next two months will be a waiting game as our agency searches for Birth Dad.  Please be in prayer for us as we take Nathan home and become accustomed to being parents!  Birth Mom is set to sign consents on Sunday.

    Hooray! Congratulations! Saying a prayer that his birthmom would at least be interested in receiving updates from you. That is a wonderful first step. :)
