We got an email from our adoption agency on Tuesday about a baby boy that was gonna be delivered the following Monday. After thinking and praying about it we let them know we wanted the baby. We stayed up late making a profile book for the birth parents. We didn't hear anything, no email no text no nothing, until Saturday. Those were the longest 3 days of our life. Finally, we heard Saturday the birth parents wanted a phone call with us and they were going to call in ten mins. We were freaking out. After the phone call, that lasted about twenty minutes they decided we were the right parents for their kid. We didn't believe it, we didn't want to end up heart broken. We ended up meeting Sunday night, another last minute decision, and they knew for sure we were the ones. Monday at 12:08, 7lb2oz 20in baby boy was here. We met the birth parents first and they seemed to be doing really good. We went to the nursery to meet our baby, and he was perfect. We just starred at him for ten mins, we couldn't believe it. They let us give him a bath and stay and hold his hand for about 2 hours. Leaving the hospital without him and knowing he was with his birth parents was so crazy, sad, and just confusing. Finally, Thursday came and we could take our cute lennox(we finally named him) home. It was the most conflicting day of my life. I have never felt so sad for someone and so excited for myself at the same time. Thankfully he's here, he's home, and we love him with everything we can, including Cohen.
I am so happy for you guys! What a blessing and I can't imagine leaving him after meeting and falling in love! You guys are amazing, we love you all!
