Shia's
Story:
On Monday, June 16 Celia got a call from our adoption agency. Amber, our adoption coordinator was
calling to say that a baby boy was born on Sunday who's mother was looking to place for adoption. Amber told us
if we were interested we had 20 minutes to decide and would be bringing him home the next day. We were in shock (and
estatic!) Celia called Jeremy, who said, "Call them back and tell them YES! YES! YES!" We both had a
difficult time concentrating at work. Celia called her sister, Sarah, who went shopping right then to help get things
Shia would need to welcome him home. After work, Celia and Jeremy went on a marathon shopping spree to make sure Shia
had plenty of blankets, bottles, clothes, pacifiers, diapers, wipes and all the other baby items needed. We went to
the hospital on Tuesday at 12 p.m. and met our agency staff there. While they went to talk to the birth mother, we got
to go to the nursery to meet our new son. By 3 p.m., we wer heading home with our little boy!
