so where were we? ah, at the choosing of the embryos. We chose the profile after a weekend couples retreat at Snowbird - what a great place, btw. I called the doctor's office the following monday to pay our deposit on the babies. We had 1000 in savings b/c of doing Financial Peace University, and I never thought that I found comfort or security in money. Let's face it - in an emercengy $1000 will not help you much. The deposit was exactly that, and knowing that these were the babies meant for us, we faithfully paid the deposit. As soon as the payment was sent, I had a physical reaction like I had never had before. I became jittery, slap-happy and was quickly convicted that I did indeed find some security in money, not God alone.
So, there we were with nothing left, stepping put on faith and trusting God. I received a phone call the next morning from a friend, who said that she and her husband felt lead to help us financially for the adoption. I was amazed at His perfect timing! We had a tiny garage sale and within six days of paying our deposit, God had restored over half of our "emergency fund."
I scheduled an exam to determine if I would be able to carry the babies for that next week. This is normal protocol, even if youhave crried babies in the past. During the exam, they found a cyst on my ovary and a polyp in my uuterus. Neither was a health risk, but needed to be resolved before the transfer(which is the term for the implantation procedure). The doctor sent me home with a prescription for the pill and wanted to repeat the procedure in a month.
I was sad, but knew that this would be worked out gy God according to His timing. Long story short, I returned in one month and the cyst was resolved and he didn't see the polyp. Ryan and I were dumdfounded.
Decide for yourself- is there a God out there that holds your life and every minute detail in His hands, or is it all one big coincidence?
So we wait and pray for His timing on the transfer
