David’s response was “But we know her. What if she shows up at our door years down the road and wants to take the baby back?”

I understood his concern. There had recently been news reports of children given up for adoption and someone from the birth family entering the picture to take the baby back.

I told him I’d just like us to pray about it and see what the Lord wanted us to do.

That evening we went up to a prayer chapel at our church. As we prayed and sought the Lord on this matter we both heard: “Proceed”.

The next day I headed to Christy’s mom’s home to talk about the plans for the growing baby inside Christy’s womb.

Would this really happen? In 5 months would a baby girl come into our home as our daughter? My emotions were raw. The excitement was real. The questions were numerous!
