feeling sick to my stomach....

We have been matched with our birthmom and she has given birth. It's been 48 hours and she has not signed. She is "on the fence". We left the hospital and are now just waiting to hear something...........I feel like I am going to be SICK!!!!!!!

We went thru the same thing. She needed more time. We brought the baby home as a foster placement to give her an additional 10 days to make her decision. She then signed. I wish you the best. I certainly know how you are feeling.

So sorry that you're going through this - just know that if and when she does decide to sign that she'll be sure in her decision. If that takes a few more days, it will be worth it once the child is part of your family.

Prayers and hugs to you and to this Mom making a huge decision.

My sentiments exactly.

Our son's birthparents took him home for a week because they were on the fence. They've since shared with us that they really needed that time to think and then ultimately that time to say goodbye. Hang in there hun. I know exactly how you feel and it's a hard place to be.

our road:
started adoption process March '08
5.19.08...matched with emom due Sept. 10th
5.27.08...found out emom/edad are leaning towards parenting and we're now the "back up plan"
6.30.08...emom will only parent if her and edad get married. edad said NO and they informed us they'll be doing an adoption plan
8.25.08...our son was born!
8.26.08...we find out birthparents need more time and they take the baby home for 7 days. We were crushed.
9.2.08...to our shock TPR was signed. Our son is home!

Exactly, a decision like this shouldn't be made quickly, as hard as it is for everyone.

1-4-2009 Mom and I visit Kiddo despite the bad weather. He really loved the blue mittens I made him and even helped me plan my living room. Apparently Hot Wheels wallpapper is the way to go.
2-16-2009 I got a promotion, that comes with a raise. Mom and Dad are visiting and we're going to Al's for pie to celebrate.
4-27-2009 Dad surprises me with a Lady Ugly Stick (an awesome fishing rod that is pink) and a 2nd Iowa Light Artillery Battery jacket. I'm a lucky girl!
5-30-2009 Kiddo turns five. It is hard to believe he is that old already, it seems like just yesterday he was being born. I was at peace for the first time on his birthday, what a nice feeling.
6-13&14 2009 A cannon live fire in Casper WY. We got third place and I got to see Devil's Tower for the first time, it was pretty awesome.
7-4-2009 Amelia the kitten comes to live with me and Liz. Talk about jealousy, Liz will adjust though.
