Very interesting guesses everyone, but it seems like it's going to be the 10th hey? (I probably shouldn't say that otherwise the BM will be in labour within the next hour!!).

My DH is a tech junkie and the laptop is going with, so either him or myself will post as soon as we can after J's been born.

5 days to go, can't wait.............................

HI Hannah,

Had to register and just wish you all the best! We got our call in June, also after 7 years of TCC, 5 of which on adoption waiting list. Our little angel was already 2 months old, so we got 2 days notice! Said 'Yes, we will take her! on Wednesday, fetched her on Friday. Besides the silly comments that you mentioned, (I got some of the same), we have had the most incredible support from people. My husband and I both had baby showers arranged for us at work, we were overwhelmed with gifts. It has been such a wonderful time, and I love being a mom! When you tell people, you get so many positive stories of their experiences as well. One adoptive mom also had the comment that she would never experience the kind of love you have for your own child! How insensitive. I could not love my angel more. And people keep telling us how lucky she is that we adopted her, when we are the lucky ones!
I will be thinking of you these next few days, and I will pray for your family. God always has a plan, and as a friend told me when a BM changed her mind (we were only one of the profiles presented to her, so a long shot) God's timing is perfect. I knew when we met our daughter, that the long wait was necessary, we just had to wait for our child to be born. We both just fell in love with her the minute we saw her little chubby cheeks in the car seat. This was the one that was meant for us all along. So enjoy your bundle of joy, savour every minute. God Bless.

Hi Pandora!!

Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement, it is so much appreciated.

There's definitely a need for more adoptive mommies here at OPM - one can never know enough and it's always comforting to turn to someone that's been there.

Congratulations on your litte princess - enjoy every second.


Warm regards

Hi Hannah,

Only a few more days!
Anytime you want to compare notes, or ask anything, feel free. Am only a few steps ahead of you, but I will do my best. I think there is just that extra little something in being an adoptive mom, we have to consider a few more things, and have a few more fears to deal with. Hope the next few days speed by, then slow down for you to enjoy.

Thank you Pandora, so much appreciated!!! Don't know how soon after my son's birth I will be able to post as I don't know what to expect, but I want you to know that I really appreciate your offer. Will take you up on it!!

Warm regards
