Oh my goodness....this HAS to be SO HARD. But, if it's any solace, and I suspect you've already thought about this too, the fact that she's not saying 'no' at this point, shows she's still thinking of adoption. And, as others have said, better she take her time and know this is the right decision for her---and baby----than to do it in haste.
(This is why I don't like 'matches'......makes it doubly hard on everyone.) Still, take a deep breath and know that at this point, 'no news is still good news'.

My best to you.....

Sincerely,

Linny

I am so sorry. We went through something similar a few days before Thanksgiving. That baby's mother decided to parent and I was very disappointed. Luckily, just a few days later we had a baby born and he is a dream come true. If this baby does not come home to you that means that someone has a bigger, better plan for you. Hang in there!
