I guess I'm afraid of what a wreck I'm going to be, and how I'm going to survive after this.

With all due respect abjbadopt, this paragraph does NOT sound like she has made her final decision. Placing a child is not a decision that is made once. It is made many times, the hardest being after the baby is born.
I agree with other posters that have said that you don't have to rush into signing anything. You can take your time with your son before you make the biggest decision of your life. It doesn't mean that you can't make the decision to place - no one is trying to talk you out of what you truly want.
Those that have been where you are and have placed children just want to make sure that you take that time to know that it truly is what you want. As much as this may hurt the couple that hope to adopt your son, you have to take care of yourself as well. Any adoptive parents that don't want you to be 100% secure in your decision before placing your child are not the kind of adoptive parents I would want parenting my child.
Best of luck to you in your journey and please come back, ask questions, and keep us updated. We are here for you every step of the way.
