We had a match where we didn't hear back for weeks at a time and she fully wanted to place with us! But man I cried a lot and stressed a lot during those waits (what a waste of time for me!) We ended the relationship for other reasons. Aclee is right. No amount of worry will change the situation if she wants to parent. Someone on here once said worry is like being on a treadmill, it expends a lot of energy and doesn't get you anywhere!

Good luck and I also agree that you should have a qualified attorney or social worker involved to represent the mother asap if you don't already. We did a private adoption but didn't even start the process without lots of people to support both parties.
