This morning after my Bible reading . I was praying and I was reminded of how blessed my husband are to have our daughter. Just before Paige was born we had gone to the pastor and told him he would like to expand our family. With my health conditions it is very hard for me to get pregnant and have the baby be normal. He told us he would keep his eyes open and that we would pray.
Meanwhile my mom had a housekeeper that wanted a baby from a adoption agency. (That sweet little lady STILL does not have her baby). As the housekeeper was coming in the house her cell phone rang and they told her that they had found her a birth mom. My mom started telling her how I could not have a child of my own and it would be nice to have another baby in the family. The house keeper went back to her social worker and told her about us. One week later the phone rang and it was the agency and they said that if we would give them $15,000.00 they would market us for healthy babies. I know we did not have that kind of money but that if they would send us the paper work we would take a look at it. I hung up the phone so excited and called Miss Julie telling her that we MIGHT adopt a baby. Miss Julie asked me if my husband was on board with this. She told me at that time I was to wait and when the paper came I was not to touch it. This was very hard but I agreed.
One week later the phone rang and they had found us a baby (even though we had not filled out any paperwork). The agency also said that we did not have to pay any fees for this baby because the fees had already been paid. I could not believe my ears. God was going to send us a baby. We were told that we had 24 hours to make a decision as to weather not not we wanted the baby. My husband went straight to our wonderful pastor. Pastor told him to put out a fleece just like Gideon did. After all three of my husband fleece were answered we knew to tell them we wanted our daughter.
The social worker came over and my husband was witnessing to her and we found out on the first meeting that she was a born again Christian. Every thing was perfect. The Lord's hand was written all over this. Paige's birth mom used drugs when Paige was born but the Lord saved her from that as well. She is a perfect gift sent from God. We are so blessed to have such a sweet little girl. I could go on and on with the circumstances around Paige's birth but lets just say it is a modern day miracle. Life is good and the Lord is on his throne. Thank You Lord for our SWEET BABY GIRL.
