Funny Story

Mom called on Sunday to ask a few questions about the shadow box she's having made with Chipmunk's dedication dress, and after I answered her questions we hung up, but almost immediately she called back. She told me she had found us a baby boy! (I wish I could see your expression right now! lol) I laughed out loud and told her that was not one bit funny. I relayed the message to some friends we were having lunch with, who decided that we were going to have a TLC show started about us (Jon and Janna Go Bananas). I asked her who she was talking to, and she said the lady that was taking the shadowbox order remembered her from when she had Little Bit's shadowbox made a few months ago, and she made the comment that she was coming back in so quickly with another order. So Mom told her our story. It turns out that she has a step-daughter who is pregnant and wants to place her baby for adoption, but hasn't found a suitable family yet. I promptly told her that unless the baby came with an inheritance (and I wish I had thought to say nanny, too) that we weren't interested, but thanks so much for the laugh. (Though, if we did have the money [and a nanny], I would take a little boy in a heartbeat!!)

But seriously, I wish that I could go talk to the lady and tell her about all the wonderful blogs I read of families waiting to be matched. And I wish I had told my mom to tell her to give her my email address. Maybe I'll have Mom stop back by soon.
