My Surprise is Revealed!! ***Edited to include Pictures

I feel so blessed in many ways. As some of you may know if you have been reading my blog for the past couple of months I was given the opportunity to adopt a child who was due in November of this year. After much soul searching I made the decision to not parent this child because I cherish my relationship with my friend and I feared that in some way the relationship would change.

The reason I feel so blessed is because I had the opportunity to help this strong intelligent young woman and her mother to find a family who I know was the best match for her and her baby. Can anyone guess who this family is???? Well lets see I live in New Jersey!!! Becky you were right.

This special adoption is one reason why I believe in my heart that my adoption plan has not been relieved to me up until now. I can not express in words how grateful I am to have been a small part of this adoption. Please pray for Adrienne, Jim and Owen as they near the day they will gain a new member into their tight knit little family. God works in mysterious ways!



I believe that anyone who has met Adrienne, Jim and Owen would a agree with me that Owen in in LOVE with them and very attached. Owen is like butter you just want to pick him up kiss is whole face and you could never get enough. Adrienne is perky and sweet and just everything that you would think she is from her blog. Jim is really funny. You can just tell that he has a great sense of humor.

I had such big plans of posting the picture of the four of us from dinner last night but (and this was a pretty BIG but) I forgot my camera in the car. Yes the same car that was totaled last night on my way to work after dinner. I was hit by a drunk driver from behind. So once again I feel very blessed. I was the sandwiched between 2 cars. Unfortunately, the impact of him hitting me sent me straight into the car in front of me.

When I say God works in mysterious ways I know this is true. My friends think I at work think I am a bit crazy because I am not mad at the person who hit me and least not yet but instead I feel grateful that he did not hit the people in front of me who were elderly because it would have sent them straight into the intersection that was very busy.

I spent most of the night in the ER but I only have bumps and bruises. I am lucky because most people who are hit by a drunk driver do not walk way so easily. Please pray that this drunk driver (I know this sound weird) hears the wake up call and gets some help.

On the funnier side and how I know he was drunk is after he hit me this is the conversation that we had.

Drunk driver: "You okay. Sorry I tapped you bumper."

He "tapped" me so hard that the seat I was sitting in is broken even though he hit me from behind!!
