thanks
Mimc, Susan, Rene and Ali,
Thank you for the thoughts and good wishes. My husband and I are finding our way through. He stayed almost completely emotionally distant this time, as we went through this match situation. Even when we had the baby in the hospital, he held back. I tried, but just couldn't. But, it seems to be helping that we didn't give our hearts away completely. Though I've had an emotional range from very weepy to very angry, I am at least functional, which is progress from our last failed situation.
I received an interesting call from the Dr. who delivered the baby. He just wanted to let me know how sorry he was, and to share that he was an adoptive parent who had endured two failed situations before going on to two successful adoptions. I so appreciated his call. He also said that he occasionally gets last minute situations where mothers decide at birth or just after to choose adoption, and that he would call us if that happened.
So, we're keeping ourselves busy with projects right now. Though I didn't feel this way Wednesday, I think that we're leaning toward continuing with both our agency and our attorney looking for the right situation for us (preferably last minute or baby already born).
Again, thanks for your kind words. Your messages helped me. All the best to you all!
KK
