Phone Call...

This morning we received a phone call we were not prepared for.  We are expecting a phone call about Chief's job, but not this call.

Our family will grow by 2 feet in Oct. or by 10 feet this year!  Yes, our adoption agency called this morning and told us that our daughter's bio mother had 4 children (after our daughter) that need a home.  Yes, 4! Three years old and under.  The youngest was born last week.  This case is new and at the very first steps in the foster care to adopt.  

Before Chief and I married in our pre-marriage counseling session we talked about children and starting a family.  We both agreed we wanted children, and how many is in God’s hands, and who are we to stop what He wanted us to have.  

With that said, we were childless for 10 years until Dancer came home to us.  17 months later Auto came home to us.  We thought our family was complete, and we said, “if God wants us to have more, He would drop them in our laps”.  Well, He has done that with our first pregnancy, and now this call.  Who are we to turn this group of young children that need a Mommy and Daddy away.  So, this is what we told our agency, “if this group of children are placed in a foster home that wants to adopt them, then we will not stand in their way, however if the children go from foster care home to foster care home, then we will take the next step to bring them into our family”.  So, if you could join in with us and pray this, “Please Lord, do what ever is best for these 4 children”.  Whatever that maybe, we will obey.

As far as me, I’m doing great and enjoying being pregnant.  I love feeling our baby moving inside me.  I think that’s the most amazing part of this.  We are over half way through already, it’s going by so fast.  We are having a boy, and Auto is SO excited!  

When we first started making room for the baby in Auto’s room, Auto didn’t like it.  I would put baby things in his room, and Auto would bring it out to me and say “This is not mine”.  But, now he’s liking the idea.  We still need to put the crib in his room.  I think for the most part he is ready for the baby.   

Every morning Dancer and Auto talk to the baby and give kisses.  It’s adorable.  When Dancer talks to my tummy, the baby moves.  She loves it.

Until next time, hopefully I will blog in the next few weeks....
