Great Idea!
With our oldest son, I was at work conducting a parent teacher conference when my friend ( the director) stepped in while I took "The Call" which told me about a baby boy who was two days old and could we be shown and were we interested? I'm sure the parents of the child I was doing the conference with thought I was an airhead when I returned and hurried them out of my classroom as quickly as I could. I was again at work two days later when they called to say we had been chosen and to bring a car seat two days later to meet B and his birthparents. One thing I never thought I would say is that I was skiing the day my child was born.
With son number two we had been waiting only three weeks, we were told to expect a longer wait the second time. So when I was soaking in the tub and the phone rang I was a little stunned when dh came bursting in asking if we were interested in a baby boy born that day. We knew we were being shown, but she was not due for three weeks and went into labor that day instead.
With our daughter, we were evacuated from our home because of the biggest forest fire in Colroado history. Staying at my mom and dad's house. We were three days away from heading to Disney Land with our sons for vacation ( I was a tad bit stressed out) I had gone to Mervyn's to get some last minute stuff when my cell phone rang as I was in the parking lot on the way back to my car. It was my husband saying our worker had called, and a potential birthmom had chosen us and wanted to meet us that Friday. We met her right before we climed in the car to head out. While she was due any day (I planned to fly back if she had her) she went over by almost two weeks. We were laying in bed at midnight when she called to talk to us while in labor. The boys and I were at the beach when we were called to come and meet our new baby girl!
