Our newest god-son entered the world this morning! Grant & I went to meet him as soon as we could after work. He is absolutely precious - God's perfect handiwork!! I had the privilege of feeding him and in that moment everything I know about handling and positioning when feeding a newborn and observing the suck, swallow, breath sequence, etc., etc., went out the window, I threw away my OT lenses and I found myself lost in the beauty and awe of the new life I was holding in my arms.
Today marks a significant day in our adoption journey - January 3rd is the anniversary of when we officially began the adoption process with F&CS. I was aware all day of the significance of today's date and yesterday was a tough day emotionally in anticipation of today, but when I held the baby in my arms my hope was restored. As Grant & I waited for the elevator back to the lobby we realized that the next time we take that same elevator ride will probably be to finally bring our baby home. I am hopeful again that this journey will have a happy ending. I heard back from the supervisor at F&CS and unfortunately there is another delay to the start of our home-study.......
