Decisions, Decisions!

I do not like to make decisions, especially when they are huge decisions.  In this case, the decision is super huge and there is not a clear right or wrong.  We've prayed about it, thought about it, taken advice from dear friends, etc, and yet, we still do not know the right thing to do.

So, we still haven't made the decision about the March baby.  We are hopefully meeting with the attorney again on Monday and Dave and I made the decision tonight that we need to make our final yes or no at that meeting.

As of last night, we were really leaning towards a no, due to the massive amounts of money we would lose if she changed her mind.  Dave talked with the attorney today and things may have been changed a little, so that if she were to decide to parent, we wouldn't lose any more money that what we would lose if we went through an agency.  So, we will wait until Monday to see the changes and decide.

The February mother has already chosen a couple and we still haven't heard anything about the May mother, although we do know that she still has our profile.

For tonight, I'm just trying to be patient and not stress, not an easy task.

I can understand your concern.

We were thankful to have an agency that rolls over the fees until you are placed. We would not have been out money had our birthmother changed her mind. We went with this agency to avoid that very scenario as we all know how expensive adoption can be.
