The Conference Call

The expectant mom that our agency had been in contact with last week (and weeks prior) still had not had her medical records sent over. Hesitation on the conference call made it not seem like it would really happen.

Last month our profile had been sent to a birthmom in Iowa. She declined due to wanting a biracial family. That situation did not work out, so she decided she wanted to speak with her second choice-us!

This afternoon we talked for close to an hour (with the director of the agency on the line as well), and her main concerns were wanting a family that would be accepting of a daughter that is not Caucasian when the rest of their family is.

We went on to talk about other things, things her family likes to do, hobbies, goals, all of that. What she would like for her unborn child. A very hard conversation to have someone! I'm still not sure I asked all the right questions, or gave all of the right answers. Wondering if they could hear on my end as Wyatt & Brett broke a snowglobe and lightbulb (we decorated for Halloween today) and I tried to stay calm and not strangle them.

But...
as of now she wants to go with us!
We are about a month and half away from due date,
so we're starting to get things in order (rooms & money mostly!!) to get a new addition to our family!!

Cautiously optimistic.
