Okay, here’s the latest update. We’ve met N and Baby Girl. N is a beautiful and very sweet woman and I’m just heartbroken for her as I can only imagine having to make such a difficult decision. We’re staying in the same hotel tonight about 3 hours from where DH and I [...]

Hotel blahs

We were in the hotel most of the day except for a few trips to grocery stores and whatnot. DH was on the phone a lot. Back and forth with both attorneys. At least we know that the attorneys are on board, now we’re just waiting for N to speak with the [...]

After we got “the call” on Friday, I went shopping. Of course! Up until getting this final word, we hadn’t allowed ourselves to buy anything gender specific. Anything specific to A child. I didn’t buy a ton, just some basics, receiving blankets, onesies, pacifiers and socks. I came home and [...]

Well, we got “the call” from the agency today. The birthmom selected us and we’re so happy and excited we hardly know what to do with ourselves. It will be crazy around her the next day or 2 while we get everything ready to go, any hopefully I’ll have a bigger update soon. [...]

If you can believe it, we’re still waiting. The agency said things were taking a lot longer than usual and longer than they anticipated. Some of this comes from a difficulty in communicating with the mother because of her living situation. Each time though, she assures them she’s committed to her adoption plan, [...]

they will come. Well, it worked for Kevin Costner, so maybe. We’re still waiting to hear. I’m hoping the fact that we haven’t heard anything this weekend is a good sign, but it’s so hard to tell. But I still feel optimistic, although it is certainly difficult to tell if I [...]
Stress

There are so many people out there who decide to start their families and they get pregnant immediately and they have easy and uneventful pregnancies and then there are those of us who, it seems, struggle with every step of the road to parenthood. I’m not really complaining here, just making an observation. Everyone around [...]
We’re still in this

I got back from my conference yesterday and DH and I stopped at the our favorite theatre in Knoxville to see Harry Potter before we came home – I think it was very well made and the kids just get better and better. As for the potential adoption situation, we’re still in the midst [...]
Conference time

Well, I’m leaving tomorrow morning for my conference and am scheduled to return on Sunday. We called for another update and basically we’re still waiting. But we haven’t been told NO yet, so that’s something. I’m crossing my fingers I have to come home early.
Wondering and waiting

We still haven’t heard an update, but with the holiday and then the weekend, we figure that’s probably normal. It doesn’t make the waiting easy though. There are a million things running through our minds, but we keep going back to the simple fact that if this child belongs in our family, all will fall [...]
