FEB. 13th WE RECEIVED A CALL STATING THERE WAS A BIRTH MOM WHO WAS HAVING A GIRL AND DUE MARCH 22nd. SHE WAS GOING TO PICK UP OUR PROFILE ON FEB. 14th. ON THE 20th WE WERE SHE HAD A SONOGRAM AND IN FACT SHE WAS HAVING A BOY. WELL, WE THOUGHT BUMMER AND THAT WAS THE END OF THAT. YESTERDAY I RECEIVED A CALL TELLING ME THAT THIS BIRTH MOM HAD COSEN US TO BE HER BABY'S PARENTS. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. MY FIRST RECATION IN MY HEAD WAS, ABSOLUTLEY! I THOUGHT MAYBE WE WOULD JUST DO TWO ADOPTIONS. AFTER HAVING A LONG TALK WITH KEVIN LAST NIGHT, OUR HEARTS TELL US WE REALLY WANT A GIRL AND THE TIMING FOR A 3rd BABY (THIS LITTLE BOY) IS JUST NOT RIGHT. HOW DO YOU SAY NO? I DIDN'T, I MADE KEVIN CALL. IF IT WS UP TO ME, I WOULD TAKE THEM ALL. BUT I THANK GOD I HAVE KEVIN TO BRING ME BACK TO REALITY. I HOPE WE MADE THE RIGHT DECISION. WHAT WAS THE RIGHT DECISION? WHO KNOWS. I JUST HOPE AND PRAY FOR THIS BIRTH MOTHER AND THAT THIS LITTLE BOY GOES TO A GOOD HOME.

Caleb is so cute, I am biased too but I think guateboys are the most handsome ever!!! You are STRONG! I think that would be very hard to say no, but you have to do what is in your heart. Just know you WILL get that call and SHE will be AWESOME!
