We are Blessed

We have been matched with a wonderful birthmother! We are soooooooo excited and happy to be blessed again by another miracle.
Our caseworker called us into the office on Wednesday to 'sign some paperwork'. Fortunately, that wasn't the real reason :) We were presented with this adorable card made by our birthmother.
We've been e-mailing our birthmother for a couple of weeks, just getting to know eachother better. She is so fun and talented and beautiful. We are so excited to have her as part of our family. We love you M.!
Lilly can hardly wait to be a big sister, she is going to be great! Our baby girl is due January 1st! and it can't get here soon enough, we are already in love with her. Our family of four!

Yay! That's so exciting. She looks beautiful, even in her ultrasound picture. I love how you can see her little nose and lips. That is the exact way that Noah's bmom announced to us with a handmade card and ultrasound pictures. Brings back good memories! Noah was due Jan 19, but was born Dec 30. We didn't have placement until Jan 3rd, but the IRS let us claim him as a dependant (not the adoption credit, but as a dependant) because we were technically responsible for his expenses back to the date of his birth. We just had to include a letter stating all that in our tax return. Hopefully you will have a new dependant to count on yours by then too!
