Sean is on his snowmobile right now so he doesn't even know this news yet. I feel bad posting this but I can't keep it to myself. Just when I've been asking God over the past couple days if he is trying to tell me I shouldn't be a mother, Mary called me today. She told me that the CT birthmother has narrowed down her decision to us and another couple. My reaction: "You're kidding!" Mary's reaction: "I am not kidding." My interpretation: God sent me this message to reaffirm my faith that Sean and I will be parents. AND, that we have a good profile. I am so flattered that the first birthmother who has ever looked at our profile put us in her top two preference slot. Even if she chooses the other adoptive couple, I am still flattered. I actually just texted Sean this news so he has something to smile about as soon as he takes a break.
Now we just wait for her to decide. They estimate her making her decision by next week. She is only due 4 WEEKS FROM NOW. A little notice would be nice but I can't be picky. And again, if she chooses us, we will meet her and make our decision to pursue with this particular adoption plan or not. One step at a time...
So, with some sad news this week, it was nice to get refreshing news and a glimmer of hope.
Also, our state and FBI clearances have come back - we're clear! Mary sent me her draft of our home study - it was perfect. We are nearing the end of our preparation work and if CT birthmom chooses the other adoptive family, our paperwork is going to Gladney and we'll be in their pool of adoptive parents waiting. So strange, we are right within our March 1-15 target date...I love meeting my deadlines. So much to look forward to.
Love,
Des
