Our wait was 30 days b/c our dd's birthmom decided she could sign the relinquishment but not the waiver of revocation. We had an agency adoption, so she could have signed (most do with our agency) the waiver of revocation and it'd have been done then. She was having severe PPD and it was just too painful for her to process, which was so sad for everyone. Yes, the wait was hard at times (and I'd cry, holding my darling baby, knowing "the right thing would happen"). Thankfully, her dh was on board and helped her a lot through this time. Soon after, her PPD was much diminished and we began to bond again, our dd's birthmother and I. We are in great communication now. The 30 days were challenging, but that was clearly another stage of my labor. Those days for us were over Christmas and New Year's, ahhhhh. As they say, it's all history now.
We enjoyed our dd each day, in the hopes we WOULD become our dd and just tried to make the vest of our days with her. May your time go well. susan
