Hi Pluma!

I'm happy to hear you and the baby are doing well. Best of luck Friday. You've got a tough few months ahead of you dealing with the pregnancy AND the adoption. Just take care of YOU and get all the rest you can so you have a clear head when making decisions. Do you have any family members that can help you look at the profiles? It would help to have the input of someone you're close with instead of making the decision all on your own. I can't even go pick out new glasses without someone with me! lol.

GOOD FOR YOU about not finding out the sex. But rest assured most families aren't that picky..especially if they are adopting their first child. Do you have a list of what else you're looking for in a family? Race, age, other children, religion, area, stay at home mom, level of openness in the adoption, etc? I'd suggest going to your meeting Friday with a clear idea of what you're looking for and stick with it. If you don't see any you like, don't be afraid to say so. Don't feel obligated to pick from just the ones your agency has. There are plenty of other options. The perfect family is out there for you . You'll know them when you find them.

Keep us posted!
