Cliffs Notes:
We tried to adopt from a family in Anna, TX but found out they were psycho. Two days before we broke it off with them another girl called in and wanted us to adopt her baby.
About three weeks ago, we met our new Birthmom and her kids down in Ft. Worth. She was actually really sweet and we seem to hit it off. We met at Chuck E Cheese and I spent time playing with her kids while Miyako talked with her. They really hit it off well and kept texting each other for the weeks after the meeting. Things looked really good. She took a call from our agency and got her initial counseling from them. Everything looked great, except that she didn't call them back to do a formal intake with the agency...
Well, over the next couple of weeks we found out the drama that was in her life. We let her vent and we started to realize how difficult her life actually was. But here's the thing, she didn't want any help. In fact, she insists on us not paying for anything. She even wanted to pay for the lawyers but we told her that they were already paid for through the agency.
Fast forward to last Tuesday. We met up with her for her first ultrasound checkup at the doc. We found out that IT'S A BOY!!
Check it out man..
Then things got REAL. I was so psyched up I could hardly contain myself. We went out for lunch and just talked. Again, things went extremely well. Miyako and I said afterwards that we could easily picture ourselves having a good long term relationship with this lady through open adoption. She was VERY reasonable to deal with. Yes, there is drama in her life but she is trying to get things under control. She just knows that she can't do that if she has another child.
BTW, she's DAMN good lookin' too. A natural blonde with blue eyes. All of her kids are good looking too. The father of her youngest (not the same as our baby) is half Korean/Native American. That kid is going to grow up to be a lady killer. I can't wait to see this boy.
Anyways, the birthmother finally did call our agency today and did a formal intake. She immediately requested that she be matched with us. A formal match meeting will happen in the next few weeks but for all intents and purposes this is going to happen. Yes, she can still change her mind but, unlike the last adoption, we have a really good vibe for this one.
He's due on Feb 9th. Keep ya fingers crossed. Prayers and warm thoughts are always appreciated
