Thanks again. I am meeting with my sister and the birth parents next Sunday to do the final - "yes, you can have the baby". We have talked about a few things. First is that they have to agree that ten years from now they do not get the baby back. I asked my niece what the chances were of her changing her mind the day the baby is born - she hesitated a bit and then said that even if she wanted to change her mind, the point is still that they can't afford the baby. We have agreed that my sister will be grandma, the birth mom will be mommy S and so on. They live in WI and we are in AL so visitation will be limited. This can be viewed as a good thing and a bad thing. The good part is that she wont be around much to interfere with the raising of the child. The bad thing is they wont see eachother to often. We do have plans that we can meet in KY periodically for visits. Our biggest delima at the moment is weather she gets to hold the baby before I fly off with it. I wanted to compromise and let her hold it just before I leave - all family members say don't do it. They say I should wait a few months till she's over the adjustment period. I am so excited and worried at the same time.
Thank you again for your advise.
