It's Official

We've been matched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The social worker finally called us around 5pm, she had been playing phone tag with the birth mom all day. Didn't they both know I was waiting by the phone all day long (literally I was).

The birth mom wants to go ahead with us as the adoptive family, however she wanted us to know that when she visited the baby yesterday the foster mom made a comment that he has been quivering and hasn't been focusing. I think it is because he was born 4 weeks early (on June 1st) so technically he is only 2 weeks, so I'm sure it has to do with that. The birth mom feels guilty cause she did not have much prenatal care and would understand if we decide not to parent him. Ummmm.....that's not going to happen unless it is very very serious.

The baby has a regularly scheduled doctor appt at the agency on Thursday with a doctor that has seen him before so we have decided to keep that appt and attend. Thinking that since this Doc has seen him before he should be able to tell if something is up. We will wait to take placement until after this appt.

In the meantime the birth mom wants us to meet him this weekend on Sunday so the social worker called the foster mom to let her know and that we will be calling her to set up the time. When the social worker called us back she said that the foster mom didn't seem too concerned and said he has a sparkle in his eyes. The social worker thinks the birth mom may have read into the comments and/or misunderstood with the foster mom was saying.

I still can't believe this is happening and maybe being alittle reserved because of last time. However I'm sure once we meet our son on Sunday the flood gate will open and I'll been on cloud 9!
