I prayed every time, just in case you needed a little reassurance from the Lord in this new journey.<BR/><BR/>Prior to your blog, I had never stopped to think what an adoption means emotionally. I think the ups and downs are much more intense than a physical birthing experience. <BR/><BR/>I have moved you, your family and the babies birthparents to the top of my prayer list....Girl Gone Wild - BibleStylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088242464550634524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21408841.post-43835005073555425242007-11-25T21:22:00.000-06:002007-11-25T21:22:00.000-06:00You both have been and will be Blessed beyond beli...You both have been and will be Blessed beyond belief.

Then I spent a few minutes mulling over D-names... Jacob is really good! I could call him Dacob and sound like I have a cold all the time. <BR/><BR/>Got your back on the emotional gamut...<BR/><BR/>Debbie (which would have been a great name if you were having a girl! :-) lol)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01027432906182503581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21408841.post-46530384554504558972007-11-25T10:26:00.000-06:002007-11-25T10:26:00.000-06:00Thanks for visiting me.

I have 3 adopted nieces and many friends who have been through this - so can understand your feelings to some degree. I'll keep you and the birth mom and Jacob in my prayers and will be back to see how you are doing!Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289456727508305342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21408841.post-19377379242727715622007-11-25T06:56:00.000-06:002007-11-25T06:56:00.000-06:00I missed you, too.

Heck I feel them on a miniature scale just being an observer! I'm thankful that you allow us to be part of the experience and offer you our thoughts and prayers. It's a huge, HUGE honor. You have an amazing heart, Katie. I am so happy and excited for you and can't wait (major understatement) to read about you holding that sweet child in your arms as you typo.

You would think that something momentous is happening in your life! (For those of you who don't know me, I am a tad on the facetious side.) You and Keith have been on my mind every day and I just keep thinking what a special time to find out you'll be welcoming a sweet baby boy into your home. Don't you just love God's little touches? Katie, I am so thrilled for y'all and I know exactly what you're going through. All I could pray was "please don't let us get all the way out to Utah and let her change her mind." Every day we have to depend on God and His decisions. We aren't even promised tomorrow but we are His children and He loves us more than we can ever imagine. He's listening to a lot of us praying for y'all as well as the birth parents. Our birth mom is always in the back of my mind - you want for her because she entrusted you with the most precious gift she could ever give. I love Rhodes so much that I want what's best for her as well. I can't find the words to try to comfort you right now - just enjoy the "nesting" and call me anytime with any emotion!<BR/>Love you,<BR/>BetsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
