Profile Showing?

I title my post Profile Showing with a question mark because...well y'all know how previous profile showings have gone, right??

Well...we are "suppose" to have a profile showing tomorrow, Friday June 1st!  I wasn't going to post it, as mentioned previously I feel like I am just jinxing everything but A.) I can't keep secrets. and B.) We, Birth Mom, and other families being shown need all the prayers we can get!

There are 24 families waiting at our agency and ALL of them will be shown to the birth mom tomorrow. Overwhelming, right?! So our chances of getting chosen are slim but also knowing that everything is meant to be and if this is the baby we are meant to have...it will all work out.  And if not...we will keep waiting for the right one!  Baby is due July 30th!  Which freaks me out a tad knowing that is right around the corner!!!! I think they will be eliminating profile books as quickly as possible to get a final decision.

We should know more in a few days if our book was chosen to move on to the next "step" or not.  I am not really sure what the next step would be but I'm assuming out of the 24 books, she will first try to limit to the top 5-8 and then either try limiting more from there or scheduling to meet each of them.  Everyone is different and we are unsure of what the process will be with this birth mom. 

I will update either way as soon as we know!  Again, prayers are greatly appreciated for everyone involved.  Specific prayer requests are as follows:

1. Prayers for the social workers and counselors involved that they may help lead this birth mom and birth dad to make the right decision for THEM and no one else. 

2. Prayers for the birth mom and dad.  May they have complete peace with their decision, whatever it may be. Pray they can feel God's hand in all of this. 

3. Prayers for all the other 23 families that are waiting and will be shown tomorrow.  A majority of them have been waiting longer than us and I know are just as eager to bring their baby home.

4. Prayers for Ross & I that if this is the baby God has chosen for us, we will be at peace with it and be ready to take this journey to the next level even with the shorter time span which freaks me out a bit!:)  If this baby isn't for us, may we be at peace with that also and know our baby is still out there waiting for us. 

5. And of course, prayers for the little baby that is expected to be making his/her appearance in 2 months! Pray the baby continues to grow and stay healthy and that whatever parent is picked for the baby, he/she will be loved unconditionally!

Thank you so much! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
