Anyone who has gone through the adoption process knows what I am talking about.  I had been debating about calling the social worker because it as been two month and no word of any kind.  I was wondering if our profile was being shown.  Then at 2pm while I was sleeping (I work nights) last Thursday my husband got the call on his cell phone.  I was excited and scared, but I expected her to say someone had looked at our profile and wanted to meet us and a few other families.  I expected to meet a few birth mothers in this process.  But, she said the birth family had picked us and wanted to meet just us in a few weeks.  WOW,  I was blown away.  I know it is not said and done until the baby is born and TPR is signed, but I am excited and scared.   I will keep a lot of the detail out due to confidentiality, but she is early in pregnancy 19 weeks and baby is due in March a baby boy.  I hope all goes well when we meet.  I have been praying for them and us that God’s Will be done in this situation.  We told all our family and friends.   I know we should have waited until we know more and feel a little more secure, but they have all been waiting and praying as hard as us.  They will all be as heart broken as us.  We will need all of their support if it does not work out.  Now on to the fun stuff.  I feel like I don’t have to hide every baby thing I buy because there is a possibility of a baby.  I am still buying gender-neutral stuff, but I did but a few boy 0-3 months cloths on clearance.  I am planning on painting the room and setting things up to take pictures to show the birth parent when we meet.  I know as you read this you are thinking take it slow it may not work out.  I know that I am a realist.  Family and friends are asking if I would like a shower before time and I told them NO.  I think a welcome home party would be great and I would not feel pressured with gifts if things change and we need to wait for another child of possibly a different gender.  I have not been able to sleep very well.  I feel peace on the situation, but feel an urgency to get things done.  I am working a lot to pay things off so I can stay home a lot more when the little one arrives.  I have notice some people are excited and will talk to me about our plans and other avoid the subject.   I think they are so worried about us getting hurt.  Now, on to the problem of finding the money for placement in 5 months or less.  I am waiting to see how God handles that.  More details to come after we meet.
