What a birthday GIFT!!

Not sure how anything will ever top this birthday gift!! Jeannie, the birth mom who had chosen us went into the hospital this morning at 6:00am and had our little baby girl at 10:31am-almost TWO weeks early. The birth parents chose to name her Kaylee and we love it, and we think we will be choosing the middle name, which will be Grace...so Kaylee Grace Schampers was born weighing 6lbs and 8 ozs, 19 1/2 inches long. We will share a birthday and are pretty excited about that!! Scott and I will get to meet her tomorrow at 3:00pm in the hospital. At that time we and the birth parents will be filling out all the appropriate paper work which will get us to the next step which is bringing our little girl home on Wednesday.

Please please pray as this is a very intense time emotionally for EVERYONE involved. Please pray for our meeting tomorrow at 3:00 as we will be meeting our daughter for the first time in front of the birth parents and social workers. Please pray that God's will be done!! There is about a 30 day wait for a court date to be set where the birth parents will legally terminate their rights, until that time we will have Kaylee in our home, however the birth parents can change their minds anytime in there. The social workers both feel it is still a very solid adoption, so we are thankful for that!!

Thank you ahead of time for your prayer support, we need it!!
We will keep you posted.
