We received the official notice from our adoption caseworker today about the birth mother that viewed our family book. She has decided she is going to try and parent her unborn baby herself.
This was no surprise to me and D. Because the birth mom is no longer a mom that will have any future in our lives, I can share a little about her. She is 25 years old and this was her 3rd pregnancy. The first baby she had, her family raised for her. The second baby she had, the birth father raised on his own. This third baby she is pregnant with, she is going to attempt to parent herself. Because we knew she had been through all of this and was on the fence about adoption, D and I both knew not to get our hopes up. We know the decision she made was right for her which in turn the decision was right for us.
When it is our time and it is our baby that was destined to be with us, the wait won't be as it was this time around.
We really are happy that our file was shown just 2 weeks after going live and we really are excited about the future birth mother, birth family, forever child that is waiting out there for us.
All in due time, all in due time.
