I thought it might be fun if we all talk about where we were when we got the call that a potential birthfamily wanted to meet you and when you got the call going into labor/come meet your new child....

I was the one who answered the phone when the agency called on a week day evening. The SW told me that she was talking to J and L. I, being the dolt that I am, couldn't figure out why she was telling me that she was talking to this couple. I thought maybe they wanted to know how we did something with our profile or something else like that. I didn't dawn on me that this was THE call. I guess I had assumed that it would only be a bmom who would be interested in us. Anyway, she finally spelled it out to me that this was a potential birthfamily that wanted to meet us. She wanted to pick out a place and time for all of us to get together. I remember that I could hear them in the background talking and I thought that was neat. It didn't really sink in though until after I got off the phone.

After about 7 months of being matched, we finally got the call that L was being induced at midnight on a Wednesday. We had a previous false alarm and knew that the time was near. When the cell phone rang, we about fell out of bed trying to get to it!! Again, it didn't really seem real. Not until he made a grand entrance and did a whole lot of squalling!

Anybody else? I thought there might be some pretty funny or touching stories out there.
