Introducing Baby Girl

On Friday, December 4th, 2009 we found out about baby girl. Courtney from Faithful Adoption Consultants has been working hard to find a birthmom for us to match with. We signed up with Heart to Heart adoption agency in Utah recently. We were thinking we'd probably be flying out to Utah any day to pick up our little bundle. One birthmom didn't get on the plane to fly to Utah, one birthmom had the baby early and they placed the baby with a waiting family in Utah, then we heard about a birthmom in INDIANA!!! Heart to Heart advertises nationally so any birthmom could work with them. Our birthmom just happens to live ~30 minutes from us!!!

Hopefully we will get to talk on the phone to the birthmom tomorrow, but other than that she wants a closed adoption.

She is due January 4th, but may be able to have a C-Section as early as December 21st if everything continues to check out ok at her appointment next Wednesday.

The only thing that would make this adoption fall through would be the birthmom changing her mind. Please keep her and baby Darby Layne in your prayers. :)

Hey Emily,
I'm still praying for you and have been for a long time. I'll keep praying till you are holding the baby that God is bringing your way. By the way, I love the new look of your blog. ~Kayce Susong

Congrats!!! I'll be praying that everything goes through. I am adopted and I think adoption is such an amazing gift. Make sure to start a baby registry!!!

That will be really great! Plus you will be able to save all that money by not having to travel and hopefully be there right at birth!

All I can say is I hope she likes to fish. I've got a pond full ready to be caught! Yeah, girls CAN fish!

Christy- the name came out of no where, it just has a nice ring to it (and we both agreed on it.) Her initials will match her Aunt Deborah, that part was very important to us. :)
