One fifteen minute phone call on Tuesday night changed our lives forever. We had been chosen by a birth mom! That in itself was super exciting. Then, we were told that our baby had already been born and could we possible be in Kansas City by noon the next day? Talk about mind boggling! So, we packed furiously while trying to wrap our brains around this new development. I don't think I really slept at all that night. The next morning, we took Camden to school and told him he would be staying with Grandma and Papa and we headed to Kansas City.
Jaden Joseph Gage Medley was born on December 1, 2013 at 5:04 p.m. He weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and was 18 and 3/4 inches long. He was born 4 weeks early and therefore, has been in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) since he was born. When we arrived in Kansas City, we had a quick meeting with Lori, the social worker from Love Basket. Then, we had an impromptu matching meeting in our birthmom's hospital room. Wendy had chosen us but before a matching meeting could be scheduled-she went into labor. We hit it off right away. She is an amazing person and we just clicked. The conversation just flowed. We then went down to meet our new son. Here is the first picture I took of our sweet Jaden.
So, our little family of three has grown to family of four. Here is our first official picture as Jaden's Mommy and Daddy.
