Pins and Needles!!! The end of one journey - beginning of another...

[islegrin]

After nearly seven years of TTC and AC, we are now probably one week away from the birth of a boy that we hope to adopt. I put it like that because the b-parents are planning to place with us, but the paperwork will only be signed following the birth. So there is a chance, that they could decide to parent.

She's now 3 cm dialated, and in a lot of pain so if the baby isn't delivered by the 13th, they will induce. I'm constantly thinking about the b-mother and what a mixed bag of emotions this is. At the same time, we are so excited at the possibility of being parents.

It's difficult to focus, and maintain life as usual when everything in our whole world could be turned upside down any day now!

CONGRATULATIONS

How wonderful for you, I've been thinking about you and hoping everything was fine

I think it's amazing you have been able to forge such a lovely relationship with his first mother. I will confess to being very jealous...that's a real gift, something I would just love to have for my DD2 and DS :) And she is so right...you definitely are not the first adoptive parents I've seen feeling sad or very guilty for taking their baby...but she chose you and she wouldn't have done that unless she knew you were the right parents for him. The best way to honour that decision is just to be a great mum to your little boy

So excited and happy for you :)

( I am assuming you haven't had time to put photo on and that you're not adopting a black lab...?)

How wonderful - congrats!!!

I understand the guilt and from what i can work out that feeling is very common. The guilt (although gone now) made me want to work harder to be the best Mum i could be.

It's wonderful that you have had a chance to start a relationship with his Mother as that will be so wonderful for you all in the years to come.

Enjoy your little one
