Well folks this is it! We leave tomorrow morning for babytown. Of course there are a million thoughts running through my head right now and at least that many things to do before we leave but if you would have told me a year ago, or even 6 months ago that I would be going to watch my new baby daughter be born the day after my birthday-I would have seriously considered you for the funny farm!
When Cori Joy was born I remember just crying every time I looked down at her. I was so overwhelmed that the Lord had blessed me with her. When she died I felt as if He had fired me from the only job I ever loved. I don't feel that way anymore-Cori may have been a responsibility He entrusted to me. Cori's death was not a punishment for a job poorly done. For reasons only He knows, her time here only lasted 3 years 364 days, but her "story" continues. Perhaps He was preparing me for "such a time as this". He knows the end from the beginning and nothing is ever a surprise to him.
The love and lessons Cori's life and death taught me, prepared us for this miraculous blessing of Molly! She is going to be a very loved child! Her birthmother chose to bring her into this world because of love and with love will be placing her in our arms of love. May Molly's life reflect the words from the verse in Corinthians that says "now these three things remain, Faith, Hope and Love...but the greatest of these is Love".
Thank you all for your continued prayers for our safety driving over, for the delivery to go smoothly, Molly to be born healthy and that her birthmother would do well and that when we are released we also have a safe trip home.
We'll try to get online somewhere and post when she is born!

I don't know why but Cori popped into my mind today, as she often has over the past nearly 4 years. This time the urge was so strong that I was driven to see if I could find you, and a google search has led me to discover this incredibly good news. I am so thrilled to hear about the addition of Molly to your family, and I wish you all the best with her arrival and first weeks at home. I know you will enjoy every minute with her, and I wish your all the happiness in the world. Cori is certainly smiling down from heaven!
