I got up this morning and had received an email from the local Jax attorney. The baby that we had been told about that was due in January is being born TODAY! The mom is currently in labor and we have to decide TODAY if we want to be a possibility when she chooses an adoptive family.
So far, there are four other families that are "in the running". If we decide that we want to be considered and are not chosen, we will be out of $100. If we are chosen, we could possibly have a daughter by Christmas.
Here is some information I can give you: (There are lots of things that I can't share.)
Here are the pros: The mother is in her 30's, has given a baby up for adoption in the past, and since the baby is already being born, the mother would be choosing after the baby being born, leaving little time for her to change her mind.
Cons: The mother was on birth control when the baby was conceived and remained on it for a while before she realized she was pregnant, we would have to get money ASAP, and I mean ASAP, if chosen, would have to leave for Florida right away (we're in VA with our families), and the baby is being born a month early, giving concerns.
I am so torn. I feel like there are the cons there to keep me from saying yes, but wow, there are lots of pros too.
Wish decisions were easier.

I say go for it! $100 isn't too much money (although I'm wondering why you would even have to pay that?), going back to FL would stink after you just got up there, but if you were chosen it would be so worth it to make the trip back (I know that's a really long run-on sentence)! Is there reason to believe that the baby will have problems due to the BCP?
Praying for you! Be sure to post when you decide one way or the other!
I agree! Go for it! I am praying for you every night. I give my self 15 minutes every single evening just to pray to God for you. It looks like my prayers have been answered!
