110 days ago our life went from being comfortable to a world wind of good chaos. Within a 24 hour period we found out about baby girl and immediately put our lives on hold to bring her into our family. We went from a family of four to hoping to become a family of five. It has been a hard road but I would do it all over. That sweet little face, that is so similar to her brothers, I just can't imagine life without her now. We have been there with her every second since we picked her up from the hospital. We were the first ones to see her cute little smile, woke up with her every night, changed diapers, taken her to doctors appointments, worried over every little thing, but mostly we have see Adalyn and Josiah fall in love with her. Josiah loves to kiss her face off and Adalyn squeals when she smiles at her. She is a part of this family and we love her so much.
We have 5 days until court.. I feel like the countdown for this day has taken forever. I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared or worried sick over the whole thing. We won't know if the birthfather will be in court until we walk in that courtroom on Wednesday morning. Best case scenario is that he doesn't show at all. Worst case is that he comes to court and we have to wait another month or two to go back to court.
We are so thankful for all of our family and friends (old and new) that have prayed for us, called to check on us, sent text messages, and have supported us financially. We have been truly blessed and love each and every single one of y'all. We are just continuing to pray for God to do what is best for my sweet girl and that the birthfather would also see what is best for her. We have seen God's work throughout this and we know that He isn't going to stop here!! No matter what happens on Wednesday I know that this journey is exactly where God wants us to be. He chose us to love, care, pray, and protect her and I won't ever stop doing that.

After posting this I thought....I made that seem like we weren't struggling, like everything was just hunky dory (is that how you spell that?!) I have been completely honest with our peeps from day one so I don't want yall to think this is easy, but I'm not one to have a pity party. We need prayers...and although I feel like a complete basket case at least a couple times a week I really do believe that God will take care of us. ( And just maybe our struggles can help someone else going through a tough time.) It just might not look pretty...there may be some ugly crying going on but we will get through this with the support from our people and love from our God.
