Retraction....

Well, you may have read about our exciting news here last week, but sometimes we just get a little too excited and spill the beans a few days too early. :(

That is right....we were notified on Sunday that due to an unfortunate decision, we have will not be participating in the filming of "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" with the Discovery Health Channel. Since Cassandra is still a minor, she had to have release forms filled out, and one of them didn't get signed...kind of a bummer.

This makes me feel like we told people we were expecting and then lost the baby....but thankfully it isn't that emotionally draining. So if you want to see us on TV...well, the closest you can come are the videos we upload. Have fun with that!

Thanks for your support and friendship!

Discovery Health Channel

About a week ago or so, I received a text for our angel, Cassandra....this is pretty normal, since we stay in contact frequently through texting, but this particular day, she was so excited. She had been contacted by producers from the Discovery Health Program. They came across her story of being pregnant and not knowing it on her blog and contacted her right away.

Discovery Health Program just aired a new series called "I didn't know I was Pregnant" and the ratings were off the chart, so two more episodes were ordered and they asked Cassandra to be part of it. As she was speaking with the producers they were amazed that she put her baby up for adoption and asked if we could part of the filming as well.

I received a phone call from Mike Mathis Productions and was giving all the information and was asked if we would be willing to participate. I was very excited to help out, especially since it is highlighting the miracle of Cassandra finding us and blessing our lives through adoption. As I was speaking with the producer, he was expressing how they would pick a weekend and we could all get together to do the filming. That is when I was a little worried because we no longer live close to Cassandra. I said to him "well, I don't want to put a kink in this, but we no longer live in Oregon." His response to that was that they could either send a film crew to us or if we would consider it, they would fly us to the Pacific Northwest for a weekend to do the filming. Without hesitation I told him we would love to be flown out to Oregon for this, and so we are!! All expenses paid, we are coming to Oregon for a weekend of filming and fun! SO EXCITED!!

Filming is going to be on Sunday, November 16th and the episode will air sometime in March of 2009. We will hopefully be flown out to Oregon on Saturday and return to Wyoming Monday night. It will be very quick, but it should be AMAZING! I am kind of nervous traveling with a 3 1/2 month old, but people do it all the time, and I need my practice since I am going to be coming home for a two week visit in February! Hahaha!

Ideally we want to spend time and get to see our friends again, so..............can we make it happen? It is going to be a very busy weekend, but we should have time to see people, if we had a group get together or something. Let me know what you think.... :)

And who knows, maybe we will be able to be blessed with another child through adoption this way...although, we are highly considering (98%) doing foster care for infants with the hope of adopting that way...it is a little cheaper on the pocket book!
