I have big news, everyone! I’ve been hiding a little secret from you all week and now is the time in which I can reveal what it is!
We were chosen!! We were picked!! We are going to adopt a baby!!
A birth mother in Colorado, who is approximately 27 weeks pregnant, looked at profile books of waiting families and she chose us!
Jump up and down with me!!
When we first got the call from the agency, I was like “Wha?” and “Who?” for the first part of the conversation. Since we’ve been talking with our agency on more administrative subjects re: our homestudy lately, I didn’t have any expectation that this phone call was about THE ONE!
And it looks very promising because I got the sweetest email from the b-mom today and I think we’ll both enjoy getting to know each other. She’s very sweet.
Due Date: October 29th.
It’s A Boy! She said that her OB says everything looks great and estimates that he weighs 2.5 lbs right now and I hear he’s practicing to be an NFL kicker.
More details to come…but since this will be our son’s birth story the details will be guarded enough to convey how special and sacred his story is to our family. I know you understand and wouldn’t have it any other way. Gosh, you all are so nice 
Thanks for your prayers! We’re trusting in God for EVERY detail to work out perfectly according to His plan.
Hey, remember when I wrote this post and did some asking? God answered! What do you think about his timing?
Boy, is it hard to type while jumping for joy! I’m so excited for you guys, and I just know that Max is going to be the best big brother ever!
Remember when I said I had chills?! God is so good. I am so happy for you all. I can’t wait to see how your story unfolds.
OH ANNA! I’m all choked up! How exciting… a new little baby for you to love and us to enjoy vicariously! Congrats to you and Mike and Max! I can’t wait I can’t wait I can’t WAIT!!!
That so totally rocks! Congrats, and thanks for sharing this story. It’s a nice reminder that God’s timing is perfect.
PRAISE THE LORD!
Anna I am so excited for you…elated! God is so good and so amazing and His timing is so perfect! I will contine to pray for you and the upcoming weeks/months! Congratulations to all of you!

All these babies being born and adopted… man I want another baby in the WORST way… ::sigh:: when God says it’s time… I’m working on the husband part first…

I am so very happy for you and pray that the Lord will bless you and your family with this new little boy. How wonderful! I am tearing up as I write this. So full of joy for you. What a blessing. My sister and her family left today to go to China to get their son. Adoption is a beautiful thing. Rejoicing with you! Meg
[...] I’ve been waiting all week for this at Sincerely Anna [...]
That is so exciting! I’m so happy for you, and praying that all goes well.
[...] Living Room: Um, it’s a mix between Hasbro and Fisher Price right now. And in a couple months, there will be some Huggies boxes to add to the interior design (yay – we’re adopting!) [...]
Oh how exciting! Congrats on being selected! I can’t wait to hear more.
You can read about our son’s private adoption in my 10 part series, It Wasn’t Supposed To Work This Way.
We’re now waiting to get licensed to adopt a second time through the state. I’ll be posting more on that process as it progresses.
Best of luck to you!
