I have had 3 dreams over the past few months in which we are handed twin girls. We've joked about the possibility. How fun that would be. How crazy that would be. But in the back of my mind I knew that the chances of twins was slim. Not many twins are placed for adoption each year so the odds were not in favor of our being matched with multiples and I really thought we would just be getting one baby.
Last Wednesday on my way to take Andy lunch my phone rang. It was Andy and I figured he was just checking to see how close I was because he was hungry! Wrong! He told me he had just spoken with our agency and had been chosen by a birth mother. Expecting twins. Due in about 6 weeks!!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!! We quickly made arrangements to talk to this birth mother and after speaking for over an hour mutually decided to move forward with our match. On Friday we received all paperwork from our agency, began process for retaining an attorney in her state, and started researching new cars to fit our whole family!
So here's the situation:
Twins
Due Nov 12 (will probably come sooner)
Will be born in Atlanta, GA area
Do not know gender
Expected to stay in Atlanta area for about a week after leaving the hospital with babies
Not expected to have birth father issues
In addition:
God answered my prayers for a match before the end of the year!
We had not had time to make a video yet and this was stressing me out so I am SO thankful He took care of that detail!!
This due date does not interfere with any major family events (woo hoo!!!)
We have an amazing attorney in GA
We have friends in Atlanta as well as very close friends just 3 hours away
Please be in prayer for:
The twins health: that they weigh enough, lungs are developed & kidneys functioning properly
That the babies don't come more than 3 weeks early
The birth mother's health and peace of mind
For support for our birth mother (emotional, physical, spiritual...she is very alone in life)
For connections in Atlanta
Wisdom as we search out a new vehicle
Finances as we prep for 2 babies instead of 1
Our boys as we prepare them for this immense change
Our families as they care for our boys while we are away
Smooth transition
