MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN PUT IN CONTACT WITH A YOUNG GIRL THROUGH A FRIEND OF A FRIEND SITUATION. SHE HAS AGREED TO LET US ADOPT HER BABY. I HAVE DEVELOPED A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS GIRL AND HAVE EVEN FOUND MYSELF TRYING TO TALK HER INTO KEEPING THE BABY, EVEN THOUGH MORE THAN ANYTHING I WANT IT. SHE IS VERY YOUNG (21) WITH A TWO YR OLD LITTLE GIRL. SHE NEEDS LOTS OF GUIDANCE WHICH I AM TRYING TO PROVIDE. I HAVE TAKEN HER TO HER FIRST APPT WE GOT TO HAVE AN ULTRASOUND, I GOT TO KEEP ALL THE PICS. I AM MEETING HER TOMORROW FOR ANOTHER APPT. OUR BABY IS DUE IN NOVEMBER, STILL FIVE MONTHS TO GO. MY MOTHER AND FATHER IN LAW HAVE PURCHASED A CRIB AND CHANGING TABLE FOR US. VER COOL, BUT SCARY. IF ANYONE WANTS TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH MY I WOULD BE GRATEFUL, IVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS. MY HUISBAND AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR FIVE YEARS TO ADOPT. THIS IS LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE, I HOPE AND PRAY EVERY NIGHT THAT THE LORD WATCH OVER AND KEEP OUR BMOM SAFE AND ALSO HOPE THAT SHE IS MAKING THE VERY BEST DECISION FOR HER UNBORN CHILD. FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL ME ANYTIME MY E-MAIL ADDRESS IS: combsranch@aol.com. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING MY POST AND YOUR RESPONSES, SINCERELY, SHANNEN

Congratulations to you!

It is so wonderful that you are developing a relationship with the birthmom. It sounds like she knows what she is doing as she has a two-year-old already. I hope the best for you and your husband. It is also great that your family is so supportive (buying a crib, ect). Five years is a long time to wait! How did you do it? Can you give some suggestions that could help others?

I'll keep my eyes open for an e-pal for you. Have you checked out the other e-pal posts?

Keep us posted,
