We completed our homestudy last July...we were matched with a bmom in December and she changed her mind the day we left for FL. There are those whose wait is barely a day after they finished their homestudy-it's pretty amazing how fast things can go...it all depends on what the birth mom is looking for really.
Having your profile shown and waiting to hear the news feels like high school all over again!
You really haven't been waiting long at all! Until you are faced with a pending adoption I don't think a family really understands how much more they could be doing while waiting for their baby....whether that means paying off more monthly bills or saving more ca$h for the adoption... time really is on your side.
Are you guys with several agencies or just the one? And have you talked about whether or not you'll leave before the relinquishments or signed or not? I know to ease the anxious feelings you can request to not be told when your profiles are being shown. Most agencies do this to relieve the pressure...I'm not sure it works!
I think since our profile has been shown numerous times, you get over that initial panicky feeling of waiting by the phone to hear some good news...because it is disappointing to hear you weren't chosen...the flip side is knowing that your time will come...just not "right" now
Talk to you later,
Heather
