Any Day Now!

April is here, which means Abigail will be here any day! We have officially made it to her due date week! In March we were showered with love at our two baby showers by our friends and family. We got everything we needed and more to welcome Abigail into the world. Now the hard part has arrived, waiting for the phone call that our birth mother is in labor. The pack and play and car seat have been in my car for the past two weeks and last week we loaded it with two more suitcases of clothes for us and Abigail. We are ready to jump in the car as soon as we get the call. Every day we wake up wondering if today is the day and every night we lay our heads down hoping the phone will ring.

This may be the last ya'll hear from us for a while. Once we get the call we'll head to Maryland to be at the hospital when she arrives. From there the birth parents consent will be taken 24 hours after delivery and we'll be able to take Abigail with us once she is released. We'll be staying in another part of Maryland with a sweet family we know and will be there until our ICPC is signed. Once our ICPC is signed we'll be able to return to Virginia. Since we are moving forward with a Maryland adoption there is a 30 day revocation period and we'll be granted custody after this period of time. At this time I don't believe we'll be able to share any pictures of Abigail until the 30 day revocation period has passed. 

Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we take our final steps to bringing Abigail home. Pray for our birth mother that her labor and delivery go well. We are so very grateful for our birth family and look forward to finally bringing Abigail home!

Blessings,
