Gwenn -- about being there when our children are born:
we had hoped for this, too, but hadn't yet met our son's bmom when she went into labor and since she was young she wasn't prepared to have us "see it all"; so we weren't in the room, but held him and had him with us from about 5-10 min. after birth. With our youngest, we didn't get the call from the hospital due to a miscommunication, but were able to arrive there the same day. Clearly, I am devoted to both children, as are their birthfamilies -- and being at the birth would have been great for us all (they agree) but just "wasn't to be".
Even when we planned for this both times, it just didn't get to happen -- but we still felt part of both children's lives for sure from day one.
I hope you agree to the visit on Saturday just to allow this to unfold and give it time -- but my optimism always precedes me. Best of luck! susan
