I'm surprised that your attorney would suggest this because although this seems like a solution, it smacks of problems...
First off, you would be going through a homestudy as a freshly divorded woman, and there would be plenty of questions as to this, which would all need answering. If you told the truth, chances are they may not approve your homestudy...and if you're less than truthful, well, that's not really ethical or fair to the women who are considering you as a mother for their child.
If you do evade the questions but intend on being honest with the expectant mom, she may wonder if there is anything else you are being less than honest about...and chances are try to find a different couple.
Like I said, it's surprising to hear that, and I'd really think long and hard before considering an adoption attorney who offers such advice.
Hopefully you and your DH can get everything taken care of. Good luck to you.
