Yesterday I finally got to speak with our potential birth mom's case worker. I have been waiting since last Friday!! That felt like forever- It was a great conversation, she answered most of my questions, she took her time to explain everything to me that she knew of her, she wasn't just advocating for our birth mom she was advocating for both ends and was very helpful to me as in she was understanding, she validated me and my concerns, thoughts...etc! Also she assisted me with what the next step is! All in all, after that phone conversation I felt very calm for the first time in a while :)) I felt comfortable that this is it and have a better understanding of what the next few months look like for us.
We were advised at this point to send a card to open up the lines of communication. Since our potential birth mom only knows stuff about us from our profile book and from the agency. Now we get to share with her on a more intimate level how much we have planned for this child, prayed about it and so forth... We also found out what it was about us that she related to and why she picked us. It was awesome to hear her reasons, they were good ones! It wasn't my smile, or my good looks....shockingly :) However Ted and Zoe where part of it!! Yay for our pets!!
In this moment of calm with nothing that has to be rushed to the post office, or a rushed decision to be made, or hours of research - we get to relax - prepare - pick names - build a relationship with our potential birth mom, somewhat organically - Let things flow - we get to be joyful for we are done the home study invasion, we are done with waiting to be chosen - we have been chosen, we are here and it all seems so calm. I'm enjoying this feeling... Thank you God!!
