Our 800# WORKS!

Well I am not sure what I was thinking but I thought when our 800# hit the paper our phone would be ringing off the hook. Why wouldn't it? We are wonderful, caring, loving, financially secure, emotionally secure and we are Jeff and Colette! Boy was I wrong. I even called the number to make sure it was working (I know we all have done that!) So by Monday at work, I was depressed all over again...then it happened...a slight vibrating came from my pocket...oh my gosh...could it be...I took the phone out of my pocket and it was a long distance number! I quickly said hello! there was a voice on the other end that said hello...and then we were talking! It was a potential Birth Mother calling me! We talked for 15 ins then she had to go. I got her number, hung up the phone and called Jeff "WE GOT A CALL!" I told him all about her, all about our conversation and that I was going to call her back in 30 mins when she go tout of work. I hung up with him then called my mom. I got off the phone with her and did a few things in my office then it was 5pm...time to call her! So I did and we talked for another 30 mins. She told me all about her, her life and everything else. I asked her if I could call her again and she said yes, so I did today...well...I got the dreaded voice mail. What does this mean...is she not interested in US? How could this be? Well if she is not that is OK...then she is not our Birth Mother...and I am OK with that.

Last month I wrote a letter to our Pastor at the Chapel. Now we don't attend church that often but I feel a connection to the church. I had to write him for guidance and to ask him for his prayers. Today I received a letter from him. It brought tears to my eyes that he took the time to write to us. He told me to read Romans 5:3-5 and I did. We need patience that is what it says. ME have PATIENCE? Does he know me? Does he know that when I met my wonderful husband I could have married him the following month? Does he know that we only tried to get pregnant for 6 months and then went for fertility treatments instead of the normal 1 year before you go? So i guess for this I need patience! So, patience I will have. God give me strength!
So if you talk to me...ask me how my patience are! Love you all!
