It is a very exciting and scary time. I went threw this situation. I adopted my son from my sister-in-law. She was a single mom raising one son, and didn't think she could handle raising to. We planned to adopt my son since she was about 9 weeks pregnant. It was at times an overwhelming situation. Some of our family members discouraged me, they were afraid that it would fail and I would be heart broken. I decided that I would go full force into this and allow my self to become attached from the start, I knew I was risking tremendous heart break, However, I decided that if it did work out I would be so thankful that I even got to be a part of the pregnancy. We painted the room, attended ultrasounds and doctors visits and even had a baby shower. So the good news is, she did everything that she promised. She was brave beyond words and gave me the greatest gift I have ever recieved. It was worth every second of worry. I am so thankful to have my son, and I am glad that I let myself be so involved.
