We may have a match!!!!
A little history about our story. My dh and I have been married for 5 1/2 years and have actually been together for 11 yrs. I have a 16yr old dd who dh has raised as his own since she was 5. We have ttc for 5 years with no luck. At first adoption was not a thought to either one of us and then I began to think about it because my family had a few foster children when I was younger and I had thought about it years before(before I know that we would deal with IF) I brought up adoption 1 1/2yrs ago, but dh was no way. Then his family brought it up 1yr ago. When he realized it was okay with his family then he was ok(he is 1 of 15 biological children). So we started our journey. It has been 1 yr officially this week since we started searching for agencies. Well I recieved a call two weeks ago that there was a sibling group in another state that may be a great match. Reports needed to be swapped and studied and then it would be a few weeks before anymore would be heard because everyone would be out of the office until the 1st week in Dec due to training and vacations. So I figured no ground gained. Well Friday night I came home to a message saying we had a probable match. I called on Monday and spoke with the children's case worker. She sent me info answered questions my caseworker called and reviewed with me the info and by the time we were done we all agreed it was a great thing. We have one more approval to get through till we know for sure, but at least it has gotten this far. So it can happen. Just stay with it. Hopefully my children will be coming home soon. It doesn't matter whether or not I give birth to them or find them in another way as long as I am blessed with them. They will be my children.
