Little baby Sawyer came into this world May 13, 2013. Sydney delivered and placed her baby with Steve and Amy, a wonderful couple that she was able to find with the Lord's help through L.D.S. family services. I can't imagine having to go through something like this personally. Sydney is a strong woman and I know she will grow immensely because of this unselfish sacrifice. Sydney was not due until May 23, 2012. She was scheduled for her 38 week visit and hours before began experiencing contractions. Amy and Steve were already planning on meeting her for this appointment because they was anxious to hear their new baby's heartbeat on the ultrasound. Little did they know they would be present for the birth of their new baby. Syd delivered a healthy little boy named Sawyer later that same day. He is absolutely beautiful and will be welcomed with open arms to his new home. He will be the first child for Amy and Steve and will be the first little grand-baby for both Amy and Steve's parents.
There were a lot of things that fell into place with this adoption. Apparently Amy and Steve had a setback with their LDS adoption profile back in December. They weren't able to get it posted until February. Sydney was in no way ready to even start looking at profiles back in December. When she was ready their profile had only been up a couple of weeks. Amy and Amy's sister had a dream on the same night. Amy's sister called her the next morning to tell her that she'd had a dream where Amy found out that she was going to be having a little boy and that he was going to come early. Amy then told her that she'd had the same dream. Saywer's due date was the same day as Amy and Steve's anniversary. So, with these "coincidences" and with an overall feeling of peace, Sydney knew that the right decision to place her little one with this couple was the right thing to do. Sydney has said several times that she feels like she has known these two forever. When Sandy met them, she too said the same thing. Sydney's counselor at L.D.S. Family Services said that when birth mothers and adoptive mothers meet they often find that there are many "coincidences and similarities" in regards to important dates, childhood upbringings and etc. I think everyone involved with Sawyers placement would say that these coincidences were not coincidences at all, and that they are actually the Lord's hand in this entire event.
