60 days to go

I am starting my little countdown now.

By now the agency has hopefully received our mail. Unfortunately we still haven't heard any updates. I find it frustrating not to hear anything. I don't expect an update every week. But it has been basically since April since we have been selected that we haven't heard anything except the fact that our file was submitted to the board and that we still needed to turn in some paperwork. If they are counseling her, what I would hope, I wonder why they are not able to give us any updates?

I just had one of those spontaneous moments and I just decided to call and ask. I talked to the person in charge and was promised an update on our situation today. So now I am very excited that we will hear more on our baby today. I wish they could send me some ultrasound pictures or something. That would make this baby and the fact that we might become his parents more real...

That was quick. I just received a call back. The birth father will be around this weekend and they will try to set up a conference call with us. If it doesn't work out we will do it only with the birthmom. WOW!!! We might finally get to talk to her... I am very excited about this opportunity, but also very anxious. What if I say something wrong? What if she doesn't like my accent? What if she changes her mind?
