And that day is now



For the faithful were patient -- and were at last rewarded

-- Not a Bible passage, but it's been running through John's head

Just got a phone call from Adoption from the Heart. Duffy & I are going to be parents! Details are still scarce, and our brains are working really, really, really fast right now -- will post details as details become apparent.



  • Birthmother is 22 years old

  • Birthfather is a 35 year old asshole -- location unknown. Legal steps are being taken to ensure that he has no claim to the child after birth

  • Due date is April 7

  • All signs point toward a healthy baby -- a slightly elevated pre-natal glucose level (but tnot to the level of gestational diabetes)

  • Birthmother is currently in West Virginia, but has had all pre-natal care in central PA and plans to give birth in central PA

  • Birthmother's mother is 100% supportive of her daughter's decision

  • Sex of the child is unknown at this time

  • Birthmother has not yet decided if she wants to meet Duffy or I right now

I don't know, Nikki, he is going to have to fight Noah and David for her. And they have two years on him. Plus they can say Oda.

Duffy, I am SO happy for you!!! I can feel the warmth of your beaming smile all the way in Mechanicsburg!! The absolute greatest gift you have ever received is on its way to you--talk re-birth on this first day of Spring. From one adoptive mom to another--our babies were not conceived below our hearts but within them.
