Charlie is almost ours... Forever!

I can’t believe that it’s already been almost 6 months since we were blessed with becoming parents to our little girl. It’s been so much fun getting to know her and watching her reach so many milestones. In the last month she has learned to roll from her tummy to her back and then just last week she has learned to roll form het back to her tummy so needless to say we cannot keep her in one spot. She is also standing with help from us but she is standing! She has found her voice and will not stop talking I love listening to her talk up a storm I just wish I knew what she was saying I am sure it’s interesting. I was also worried about how the dogs were going to react to her but, her an Ruby are best friends and Charlie laughs every time Ruby walks past her it so cute. Sammie is still trying to adjust but is getting better every day. We have been so excited planning the sealing and blessing the last few weeks that when we found out that we got the hardest judge for adoption we got a little worried. Ok not just a little I am terrified because he requires an FBI background check and the state only requires a general background check. So what did we do the general background check. So we are a week and a half out from out court date and we and now going to have to do a FBI background check. It normally takes 1-2 weeks to get it as you can see we don’t have 2 weeks to wait. We also have sent out the announcements to our family to inform them of sealing and blessing date and the birth family has made arrangements to come into town to be a part of this special day. So now we are praying that the background check will be back on time. We hope that we can become an eternal family on August 6th so as I leave this in the hands of god I have to ask for all you’re to pray that this will run smooth and we can seal and bless our baby girl as soon as possible. Thank you all for the support and prayers that I know will be sent out way.

It' a girl!!!!

On January 5th we were contacted by our caseworker that there was a birthmom trying to get ahold of us. Shortly after the phone call we were emailed by the birthmom. We exchanged a few emails that night and talked to her on the phone the next day, where she said she would like to help us start our family.

We decided to make a trip to Dayton Nevada a few days later to meet with her and her family. At the time she was 8 months along but felt like she could give birth at any time.

Shortly after coming home she informed us that she could go into labor within the week, so we scrambled to get enough baby stuff to get by until we found out the sex. On Thursday at 7:15 am we got a call that she was on her way to the hospital. We thought we would be driving to Nevada that day, but the hospital would not admit her since she was not dilated enough. She then continued to have contractions all through the weekend. On Monday she went to her weekly doctors appointment and the doctor thought she was still a few weeks from having the baby. A few hours after her appointment she started going into labor so we hurried and left for Reno.

At 9:23 pm Charlie Anne Money was born!!!
