Off to Kansas!

We're off to Kansas bright and early in the morning. Looking forward to meeting the people we've been working so closely with at the agency and then meeting Lauren. We'll be taking her to dinner tomorrow night and getting to know each other. After that, it's back home on the first Saturday morning flight. Please pray for safe travels and for Hayden as we're leaving him in CT. He'll have a blast, I'm sure. It's me that's having the anxiety about flying across the country without him. Looking forward to getting to know Lauren and the agency and having alone time with Todd even if it's just while traveling, but can't wait to be home safe and sound on Saturday! We'll update once we're home and settled.

A Brother or a Sister?

The 20 week ultrasound shows that it's a boy! We are thrilled at the idea of having another baby boy. Hayden is so excited to have a baby brother. Says he wants to teach him how to jump on a pogo stick :) We don't have the medical reports from the 20 week visit yet. However, we did get a urine drug screen and the results of the hair follicle test. The urine tested for current drugs in the mother's system and the hair follicle test shows drug levels over the past 3 months. Both tests came back completely negative! We have flights booked to go to Kansas and meet the birth mother on Friday, September 30th. Things seem to be moving along well. We can't thank everyone enough for the support we are receiving. It means so much to have family and friends walking along side us on this journey. Please continue to pray that this little boy is healthy. Mom later admitted to making some additional unwise choices before she found out she was pregnant. Love to you all.
