She is a senior this year and is a straight A student. She is planning on going to college next year.
I brought her up to my room and showed her pictures of Adleys room, she loved how I decorated the room.
We spent close to 2 hours together, I think everything is going to be just fine.
Thanks for your prayers AFF family. Vy

Not always, but it's becoming more common than in the past.

I am here in Atlanta singing , she and her mother are coming to the hotel in the morning for breakfast.

She is 17 years old and so far has been very positive toward the adoption.

Walker will have a brother , he isn't so happy about it.

Say a prayer for me. Thanks. Vy

This is the righteous way to handle this situation, the culture's path is to kill it, abortion. What a difference, God bless you. He has already blessed little Adley.

Glad things went well for you. I think making her feel a part of the baby's life, by showing her pictures of where he will be was so wise. I will be praying for you and your family during this time.

This is my second child to adopt, with Walker I found out I was getting him 1 week before he was born.
She requested to meet me . I was in the delivery room right by her when Walker was born. I cut the cord , that was real special.

This birth mother wanted to meet me also, I think it really put us both at ease about the whole adoption.
I don't think I will be in the delivery room with her like I was with Walker. Thats ok, I just want to be the one taking Adley home
