The last 48 hours have just been amazing. Thursday, we went to the last education meeting to finish our home study. On the drive home, we get a call from our social worker. We were just thinking it was a call about how the class went and a congrats about having our home study done/next steps to get our profile up and stuff.
Well, she also told us about a little 13 day old baby that needed a forever home. We were the only family that met the criteria the birth mom requested for her baby's family. We were just in shock. We never expected to get a call to adopt our baby only hours after having our home study complete. We were expecting to wait at least 6 months to a year.
We thought long and hard about this life changing decision on the way home. We prayed and spoke with family, friends, and our work. We soon realized that we had overwhelming support and love from our family and friends. This crazy idea of being parents with only a 12 hour notice started to feel right.
So at 3pm on July 25, we got to meet our little Zoe. We fell in love instantly. She just fits in our family and was born to be a Thomas. We feel truly blessed to have her in our lives.
Thanks so much to everyone for the love and support. We truly appreciate it and love all of y'all for it!
Holy crap, we are parents!!! :)
