Angie~
I've been following your story for sometime now, and for some reason, I just didn't feel right in posting a comment. I guess it's because your pain and grief have been so raw....and I'm a complete stranger...and I never wanted you to feel as though a stranger was intruding.
But today, I couldn't help but post. I've been praying for you, your husband, your precious daughter...and this unborn child. And then to stop by today, and read she'll be yours!!! PRAISE GOD!!!
I'm jumpin' up and down for you....I'll continue to pray...as I was (not so patiently) for more details.
Blessings to you, and your sweet...sweet....family.
Kim~

I cannot imagine the emotional roller coaster you must be on! Congrats!!

Angie,
Wow! What a blessing! I will continue to pray for God's perfect timing. I have followed your blog for quite sometime. I was led here by my dear friend, Macy. Our family has been enduring quite a storm over the last several months and I have thought of how you continued to praise Jesus in your storm. It is so awesome to see God's faithfulness to your precious family. It brings me great hope! God Bless you all and thanks for allowing us to be apart of your journey.

I am SO EXCITED for you guys :)
I have never posted on your blog but have prayed for you often and followed your story...to this glorious day! Oh God is so GOOD, He has always known that Adrienne Christine was destined for your arms, destined to have a big sister named Mariana. Your post has lifted my spirits so much and reaffirms my faith in my God. God bless you all,
Nilia Palhinha
Angie,
To say I am excited and thrilled and overjoyed is not enough. I guess I'll just say CONGRATULATIONS!! I will pray specifically for each of you, both your girls (Lots of change for Marianna, too!) and this sweet birth mother who is probably hurting at this moment while making the most unselfish decision of her life. She has to have a sense of peace with the family she chose!
WOW! You just got a big out loud oh my goodness from me at 11pm!!! :) Love it! Congratulations!!!!
I have been reading your blog for a long time now but this is the first time I have posted a comment. What a blessing! I will be praying!
I believe not just the birth mother "chose" your family! What a blessing! Can't wait to hear an update.
Sending Love.
Good morning sweet friend!
I know I personally emailed you last night but just wanted you to know that I prayed for you, Nathan, Marianna and your extended family members most of the night. What a very important and unselfish decision this birthmother is in the process of making. I know you can certainly understand so much of what she must be going through. I cannot wait for you to bring precious Adrienne Christine home.
I am so thankful you were there to travel the T-18 road with me and it is soooo exciting to now be traveling this adoption road with you. I'm just here anxiously waiting to hear the official news!
I love you, Yvette

Leaving Lurkville to congratulate you and say how wonderful this is! Can't wait to see photos!
God bless the biological mom for making such a tough, selfless decision for that precious little one.
What a blessing that this went so quickly! I will be praying that it continues to go quickly and smoothly for you!
Congratulations! God is good! =)
Angie,
After reading the letter you wrote to the birth mother several weeks ago, I knew it wouldn't take long for a baby to arrive. I am so happy for your family and will keep you in my prayers that all will go smoothly. God knows what's best, and we also know His hand is in this.
And they all said "Thank you Jesus!"
Praise the Lord!
I have been praying so much for the birth mother and also for y'all. How wonderful that she chose life over the alternative.
Never dreamed that it would happen so quickly. I am just thrilled for you, your husband, and Marianna. Looking forward to seeing pictures of this precious little baby.
God is so awesome.
Huge congratulations!! Praise the Lord! Erin (from one adoptive mommy to another!!)
Your news took my breath away. I am so happy for you and Nathan and Marianna. ~Kate, Austin

Praising God for you and saying prayers for the birth mother. She has traveled a hard road to get to this point. I just pray she continues to make the right decisions. Blessings from above---
Wow! Breathtaking. We'll stay tuned!
God is so Good. All the time.
And after her great-grandfather. Good choice.
I am SO excited to read of your happy news. I will be praying for you, your family, and the birth mother, as everything wraps up and is finalized.
Nathan is a lucky man to have so many girls to love him! =)
I am so happy for your family.
That is awesome news!

Praise God.
I haven't left a comment in a long time, but have prayed for you guys daily! What an answer to prayer. Great is God's faithfulness!! I have goosebumps!
I have tears for you. Thanks be to God!
Angie, add me to the list of reader who has not commented. What a wonderful blessing for all 5 of you! You, Nathan, Marianna and Poppy now have another little girl to love and cherish. And Adrienne Christine is such a blessed little girl to be joining your family. I'm wishing the birthmother comfort and peace in her decision. I can't wait to read all about this new chapter God has chosen for you.
Angie & Nathan-
As you know, I couldn't be more excited for you today and tomorrow! Just wanted you to know that I am praying for you both, for sweet little Adrienne and for the birth mother today as she does something so difficult and so unselfish. God truly has His hand upon you... how beautiful to watch!
Love you guys and praying,
Kenzie
Congratulations! How exciting! I'll be praying for your family and the birth mother! God Bless You All!
Praying for your family today as well as the heart of the birth mother. Praise God for all he continues to do.

MI
LOVE the name. Praise the Lord for this blessing! I can't wait to see her!!!!
Having been in these shoes, as an adoptive mother waiting, I remember alot of the trepedation you are feeling.
Your post was very much as my heart was at the time...Lord, make sure this baby goes where you intend.
He knew my desire to be a mother. He knew the baby to come to our home. She is the right choice--she was made by Him. We experienced a situation that didn't work out...and as hurt as I was...I knew it wasn't for us, or the Lord would have made it so.
I just checked today and saw your last two posts. I will be praying for your family, for this precious birthmother, and the baby.
We were actually present when our child's birthmother signed the papers. It was absolutely the most powerful moment I've witnessed in my 37 years of life. In our case, it was an act of such unselfish love...it literally took my breath away. This wonderful woman has still had many heartbreaks...and we still pray for her daily.
Adoption is one of the most beautiful gift He bestows. Again, I'm praying for your family!
Oh my word Angie! I have had the toughest day emotionally and I came on here to find hope and HERE IT IS! I am so happy for you guys!
Praise God! What a gift! We will continue praying for you and for the birth mother!
Much Love
Kristy
God is SO GREAT! So happy for you & your family. Continuing to pray for you all.
