It has been a very, very long day with some major ups and down.
Biggest up? We SIGNED OUR PAPERS and are HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Biggest down? We're not out of the woods yet. I can't get specific, but prayers are desperately needed. Just pray.
And your biggest down? I'm not allowed to post pictures on the blog until TPR. (Termination of Parental Rights) That could be 4-6 months- my best guess.
BUT...if you email me at psalm34.3_magnifythelord@yahoo.com than I will email you a picture! At least...if you leave lots of comment love!
I promise more soon. We're going to wake her up and feed her and GO TO BED!!!!

I totally understand about pictures. We had to get permission from Birth mom and can't post anything that would identify BM. I have been praying for all of you and trusting in the Lord. Adoption is another journey altogether and i pray that you have peace during the whole process.
Much love to sweet Abigail.
Praying for you all, and oh so excited. I can't wait to read the whole story.
Ohhhhh the first night with a baby - the beginning of many beautiful, sleepless nights!! Everyone told me, "it gets better," and I can attest to the fact that it DOES get better once they figure out their nights and days. :-) Love, love love precious baby girl Abigail!!! Will you call her Abby? Love YOU too friend!!
Novena to St. Gerard coming your way.
Peace be with you.
OK so you know that we are family so pictures are suppose to be a weekly thing for you to send to me! :)Since you get to see my lovely boys on my facebook I won't bore you with the same pictures over and over again! :)
I am e-mailing you right now. Hahaha! I will pray that everything gets worked out, and quickly!
Much love and prayers coming your way.
You are so loved, sweet friend!
Thanks for the update, Lauren!!
I was wondering about that darned decorating post! Ha! Who cares about a wall at a time like this??? 'So excited for you and, I personally, don't need a photo right now. I can imagine it all quite plainly, the bundle, on your chest, the smile on your face...more prayers your way and much love to your ENTIRE family!
I'm so happy for you! You first night home...must be so exciting!!! I will continue to pray that all goes smoothly!
Glad you are home! :) I'm praying that everything works out!
Praying, praying, praying!!
I have been praying constantly for your family...and continue. Congratulations. May God bless your family.
Praying for you! Hope this gets resolved quickly. The fleeting glimpse I had of her, she's just gorgeous!
We're praying over here too! Enjoy every moment with sweet Abigail! xo!
I'm still praying!!
Still praying......She is so very beautiful. I am so happy for you, but still praying too. I have a good feelin though that everything, everything is going to be just fine! :)
Soooo happy for you. Praying things continue to go well!
I've been lurking for a coupple of months now and have gained so much from hearing your story and reading your blog. Many, many prayers to you, your husband, that sweet little girl, and the birth family.
Thank goodness those images are still burned in my head :) I can just daydream about her while I wait for more!
Am praying now... please, dear Lord, bring Lauren and her DH's waiting to an end and soon. Let there be no need for anyone involved to worry, and may this little princess continue to grow and thrive in their care.
I hope your first night home together went well. Praying for things to go smoothly.
Continuing to pray!
A couple we know waited about that long for the bparents to sign the forms too. As agonizing as it is...it is one of the possible stimpulations of adoption...waiting.
Praying for you!
Welcome home and prayers for the TPR to go quickly and the peace that exceeds all understanding just covers you entirely!
I'm praying for you!
I'm praying for you!
I've been silently following your blog for a month or two. I'm so happy you are home with your precious Abigail. How blessed the three of you are to be together. I'll continue praying for you....
I will pray hard! So excited for you guys!
I GOT TO HOLD HER!! NEENER NEENER NEEENER!!! :)
Seriously, she is a BEAUTIFUL baby girl--delicious eyes, soft dark hair...and SO expressive! She makes the cutest little facial expressions!
Praying for you and your family that all goes smoothly! How exciting!
I can't imagine being in your situation with a beautiful child that may be yours but it's not final....4-6 months! Aghhh! I'd be a wreck! Enjoy every moment with her and prayers are coming on strong from this end.
