We're Matched!



Let's just say that Olive (really, the whole family) got a bit more for Easter then we anticipated! 

If you've read my last post, you know we have been discouraged at the waiting game the past 7 months.  Last Wednesday, husband and I had a heart to heart (complete with tears) in which we both shared how discouraged we were and that we weren't sure what to do next. Literally the next day, while sitting at the table with my mother-in-law I got the phone call we'd been waiting for! 
It is with great excitement that we announce we've been matched with two sweet little embryos! It looks like the entire process could be going down within the next 6 weeks! 

If you're unfamiliar with embryo adoption, the Gospel Coalition has a great article that I highly recommend reading: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/what-christians-should-know-about-embryo-adoption

So in the next 6 weeks we also would covet your prayers as we start medication and fund raise. Additionally prayers that these two sweet embryos would implant! That is the part I'm most anxious about! The chances are around 80% that it will work, which is great!

Thank you so much for all your prayers and support! We couldn't do this without you! We'll let you know as we receive more updates! And, please feel free and ask questions!
