We started the adoption process a little over a year ago and have been waiting ever since. Looking back now I guess it really didn’t feel like that long ago but the wait its self still felt like forever. There was nothing easy about waiting to find our little one.
Our placement was a little different than most. We got a call on a Monday night and were told that there was a birthmother and a 6 month old little boy who would like to meet us that following day. We were so scared, nervous and excited all night, we worried what it would be like to meet the birthmother, if she would like us, how this little boy would react towards us, all kind of things were just going through our minds. With very little sleep we went to LDS Family Services at 3pm and the moment our birthmother walked in we felt so relieved, it was like this was all just meant to happen. We sat and visited for about 2 hours that day getting to know each other and learning about this wonderful little boy that would soon be ours. The whole time we sat and talked Wyatt would just sit and stare at Matt with this huge smile. We felt like he was saying “I have been waiting for you too” At the end of the meeting we were told we could come back the following Tuesday July 5th and bring our little boy home. Again we had to wait, at least this time it was only 1 week, but boy did that week go by so slow. Tuesday had finally arrived and we went back to LDS Family Services where we were able to bring Wyatt home for the first time. He is truly the greatest blessing we could ever ask for and we are so lucky to have him.
