Hi everyone how are you? My DH and I struggled with IF for a while but then decided to stop that and persue adoption after I got my my masters. Well I am still in school but my brothers SIL called at the end of January about a friend wanting to give a baby up for a closed private adoption and she wanted to talk with us. I told her to have her call we would love to visit with her. Well she called a few days later and we talked for hours and never mentioned the baby we just talked about how we grew up and our values. I talked about my husband and she talked about her grandparents who are raising her. Well we got off the phone and I felt kind of like I had a new friend. She called again about a week later and asked if I was interested in knowing my new babys due date and the gender. I practically yelled in her ears YES

TryinginTX:
Welcome to the adoption boards! Sounds like an interesting potential situation. I'll keep my fingers crossed that this works out for you. Ask if you have any questions. There are a lot of helpful ladies here.

Sounds like a great possibility!!! So has she said she wants you to definitely (as definitely at this time as anyone can be) parent her baby?

I saw your other post, love the name!

Welcome and I can't wait to hear more

BTW, where in TX are you? email me if you want to talk marimar_1 @ hotmail.com (no spaces).

Yes the BM say's she definitely wants us to have the baby. I know there is a chance she can change her mind. But we are moving forward. We have all the pw set up with the lawyer and we are waiting on our home study. I am in Midland Texas.
