We've been picked!!!!!
My mind has flatlined!!!! I can't believe it. Our SW emailed me because she thought she had the wrong phone number and asked me to call her.
She told us that we have been picked by BP to adopt a baby girl!!!!! We get to meet on Monday and discuss the profile. There is still some time left that birthmom can change her mind so I'm trying to stay somewhat realistic. If all goes well, we should get to bring her home in about 2 weeks. I have so much to do because we didn't know what age we would be adopting but I don't want to get started until I know that we will get to bring her home. Please send as many postitive thoughts my way as you can. I so hope everything works out!

Thanks for the support everybody, only one more day! Over the weekend, I have thought of so many questions, been out looking at baby stuff, reading on line about everything to do with babies oh and trying not to get to excited. (that is the hard one) I am hoping and praying that we will get to bring her home. Its funny, I haven't met her yet, don't know much about her but she is all I think about! Please tell me this is normal....

OK, my mind has somewhat settled, but I have this beaming grin on my face that I can't shake!
The meeting went really well. All the workers who are apart of this process were there to meet us. It was great I have never been so excited in all of my life! We didn't get to meet the baby yet, all of the final paperwork hasn't been received yet so they can't deem her legally free for adoption. Things look promising though so as soon as the paperwork comes in we can start preplacement visits........then she comes home!

I am such a big ball of emotions!! Looks like final paperwork should be taken care of by the end of the week. 2 1/2 more days of uncertainty! But things are still looking promising. Luckily work is busy right now so I can drown myself in that for a couple days. I'm just itching to go shopping for all of the baby stuff I've had my eye on, get the bassinet ready but most importantly to meet the baby!

That's great news!!!
Sounds like we are in the same time frame pretty much. We start out pre placement visits on Monday and are told we could have our baby here by Wed or Fri at the latest. I know how you must be feeling I am extremely impatient even though I know it's only days away LOL And it feels kind of surreal. So did you adopt through children's aid? Just curious. Congrats.. get busy putting some pink bows on that bassinette

Sounds like it. We are going through the CAS. Less than 24hrs to wait for final paperwork. If they receive it and everything looks good we might be able to start our visits on the weekend. OH I'M HOPING!!!!! Even just to know that we will get to bring her home will be great!
