Picked

We received another call yesterday. A birthmother we were presented to thinks that we should be the parents of her baby. She is due next week-end. Holy ****!!! We are thrilled! This time I feel for several reasons saver with the situation.

Now I need the advice of those of you who have already adopted. When you had to fly to another state for the birth, how did you book your flights? Did you book them in advance and then just change the date? Or do short notice flights from adoptive parents fall under the emergency flight rule? What did you do? Hubby thought we should drive to save some money, but I think with a little support from my MIL I convinced him that a 2.000 mile car ride with a newborn might not be as much fun as he thought...
