We went through 1 year of craziness. 2 matches that fell through (one of those was a 5 month match..total hell), lots of weird calls about potential matches (weird situations) and lots of problems with the agency. We updated our profile once, but never did again. We had some contact with the agency...they called a few times (when february rolled around...our date for updates) and once to suggest we go to an adoption thing to meet older children waiting (uhh...we specifically requested newborn...i hated this guilt tactic) anyhoo...all in all it was 3 1/2 years before ds came home...but we were not exactly involved after one year...we had assumed that we were no longer being shown, because we went "inactive" after not updating.
When we got the call, i was just finishing (literally) school. I was to be finished that thursday morning and go to Calgary Friday to do some shopping for my new job i was to start on Monday. It was very hard to explain to my new employer what was going on...There is no card to say, Sorry I might be having a baby in a month, but I might not, so can I still work for you? I couldnt believe how understanding she was..she told me no matter what, i would still have the job if i wanted it.
Well, we ended up meeting the pbmom on that friday instead because it was the only day she and her mom could meet with us. Luckily dh had it booked off of work for the shopping trip. My birthday was the next day...they came up to see us the next weekend, and the weekend after that he was born (on dh's birthday)
So, we had three weeks (he came 1 week early)
Does that answer them? lol
