Thanks for all the good wishes. We will not be able to meet the mother until after the baby is born as we live far away. We are having a conference call with her on tuesday. To all you older adoptive mother's who are waiting. Our ** is 35 so our age is not as much an issue than a ** who is a teenager. Many Birthmom's have "drug issues" as our does. She did crack for three days in her third trimester. The good news is that she did not use alcohol. This is her 5th child. I will keep you informed. My ears are sore from all my friends phoning and screaming with happiness for us!
To those of you searching for agencies, try to be open and positive and trust that they will present you in a fair manner. Being a potential adoptive parent is a very vulnerable position and some agencies are so focussed on babies & birthmothers that they forget about the needs of the waiting parents.
