On the fence
Just received an e-mail from out CW. Birth mother is still on the fence. So are we then. Her next appointment with her CW is November 30th. I know my friend is encouraging her to give the baby up for adoption. The CW said she is not leaning in either direction. I feel like I'm in limbo. Can't go forward and don't want to go back. I keep praying that she will do what is best for the baby and only God knows what is best. I must have the patience of a saint because I have been as calm as can be since I found out she is considering adoption and us. The only effect this has had is that I am almost done Christmas shopping and almost everything I have bought is wrapped. No wrapping on Christmas Eve this year! Whatever will be, will be!

What a tough place to be...on the fence. I could never stay on the fence, even though our placement with Isabella was a "legal risk" meaning that Isabella as 2 months old before the termination of parental rights were final. I fell off the fence the moment I found out about her and fell in love with our precious daughter at first sight. There were times when I wanted to be reserved with my love, but just couldn't because she was my daughter and I knew it without a shadow of a doubt! God gave me the peace needed through the process and I am so thankful for His amazing graces. She has been with us 5 months (yesterday) and came to us as 2 weeks old. She is precious and her adoption has been finalized so she is forever ours!
I pray that God will lead your heart where He wants it and that when it is time, you will fall off the fence too, in whatever direction He chooses for you!
I admire your strength and patience!! Your trust is God is so strong and I know that will get you through whatever happens. I can't wait to hear the updates!!
Praying for you and this birth mother!
That is one of the risks of open adoption...you just never know what the b/m is going to decide until she signs the surrenders. This is a very tough time for her...more so than for the adoptive parents (I feel). Keep praying for her and that the Lord leads her to make that best decision for that baby and for her. It's a tough time for all involved. Sending prayers your way!!!
Oh my goodness. I am praying for you and the birthmom and the precious little one.
