Meeting V!

The nerves have 5 days to build. We are having lunch with V on Tuesday! My goal is to not be a fruit loop and to just be me but when you allow five whole days to let the nerves fester no telling what will transpire. Needless to say, I am excited!

V

D and I had a chance to have a phone conversation with the expectant mother who we will now refer to as V. We were very nervous as usual but V made it very easy to chat with her. V is a very witty, funny and bright young lady that is extremely excited that we found each other. Because D and I have been through a match before that ended with A deciding to parent, we know that the outcome of this match could disrupt like last time. The difference with this match is that we don't have any reservations about V.  Not one! We both whole heartedly feel that V's heart is in the right place and that her adoption plan is important to her.

We have two options, we can go into this match guarded and try our best to not get attached to V and baby or we can go all in and let ourselves be hopeful and excited that V and baby are meant to be apart of our lives forever. No matter which way we go about it, in the end if this match doesn't work out and V decides to parent, our hearts will be just as broken any which way you look at it.

Therefore, we have decided we are going ALL IN. We are going to be excited and hopeful that this little baby was put on this earth just for us. We are hopeful that by this Christmas, baby C will be home!

Yay!

We are officially matched! Yay! I am too excited to elaborate right now but YAY!!

A little news...

A little news in adoptionland, there is an expectant mother mulling over our family profile book this week. We realize we are not the only family she has decided to look at but it makes us a little hopeful that at least something is happening. We aren't sure what will happen next or if anything will come of this little flurry of activity, so as usual (and yes my foot is tapping on the ground as I type), we wait. Waiting is fun with a capital F. F is for Fun. Waiting, waiting, waiting...

104...

I am not sure how high the wait will go but today we are at 104. I have nothing to share except that I have regained the will to know. Yup. I am back to being "in the know". I am not sure that means anything but still.... At least if something does happen it won't be a surprise to me. My will to know weighs more than my heart being hurt if that makes any sense....so for now, as usual, we wait...
