Closing!!!

We just signed papers on our new place...I guess in California the loan has to be funded before it is officially closed, and we signed later in the day today, so it should be done tomorrow!!! We went into the place today and we are so excited!!! The painters come in on Thursday to remove all wall paper and work on the ceiling then next Monday we have new floors coming!!!

Also, the birth mom emailed today and she is a little earlier in her pregnancy than originally thought....her official due date is October 12!!!! And the heart beat today was 166!!! Please pray for her and the baby!!!

Baby McDougall?

Well....we have gotten word that the birth parents want to give their child to us! It is so amazing how this process has worked so far! God has truly paved a clear path for us and we are walking down it! The baby is due sometime in September and we will know more in a couple of weeks! Thank you all for your prayers we really appreciate it! We are working on getting certified in California for an adoption and I have also found a lawyer in Holland to work with! It is all working out!
I will keep everyone updated on our blog and facebook!

Adoption Update

Well.....Melisa and Leslie brought Caleb, Aubrey and Kylie out to Michigan this week to visit family! Melisa headed to Holland with her family and Leslie is enjoying time with the Storr's! On Thursday evening I found out that my cousin Lindsey spoke with her mom and she had a connection with a young couple in Michigan that are pregnant and were very interested in doing an adoption! Melisa quickly sent our adoption book to the prospective birth parents and they responded quickly that they would love to meet! Needless to say I was not planning on coming to Michigan this week, but once we found out they were interested in meeting us, I bought plane tickets for the next day! I surprised Melisa on Friday night and we met with the couple today! The meeting went well, they seem very educated and seem to know what they are looking for. We don't have a commitment right now, but we are going to start the process and pray that they choose us!
Just wanted to send a quick update and let everyone know what is going on! She is a couple months along and due in September, but that is all we know so far! Please pray that God will show us his path for us!
Hope everyone is good!
