And Then There Was FOUR!

I told y’all there was more, and I won’t disappoint!

Before Chris left for deployment we decided we wanted to adopt again! I’ve been researching adoption agencies and nothing really felt right for us! It turns out God had plans of his own!

We barely made it home from the airport Tuesday when I got a voicemail. I went to check it and it turned out being our lawyer who handled Jaisalyn’s adoption! Jaisalyn’s BM (birth mom) is  pregnant again and trying to track us down! She wanted to know if we wanted to adopt the baby. Of course feeling this was a sign from God we said absolutely! Answer to prayer right?

Lawyer said enjoy your holiday (thanksgiving) and we’ll talk Monday! Flash forward to Monday and here we are dealing with the grief of our trashed house and Ilee, and the lawyer wants us to come through Tuesday. Ok no big deal, but wait BM will be there along with 2 of Jaisalyn’s sisters!

A little back story is we have a completely closed adoption and BM did not want to even look at Jaisalyn for fear of changing her mind. We’ve had no communication for the last 5years! Yikes, right?

We went from having a closed adoption and no real possibility of Jaisalyn ever meeting her Bio family to preparing her with the confusion of it all in less than 24 hours! Adoption is not a new word to her, but I’m still not sure she fully understands! She’s elated to be a sister though to her 2 new sisters and to this new baby! We had an amazing visit with BM and her sisters. It was so surreal and crazy how much they all look alike and even act!

This is all new territory for all of us, and we are very unsure of the future. However, we know the Crazy B’s are growing, and we are excited to announce we are “due” May 5! Please keep both our families in prayer that God will continue to work in all our lives!

Elated and emotionally fried,

Queen B
