And the rollercoaster has taken off again... so hold on tight! Saturday, 11/27 we got a call from Joni advising us that we were 1 of 3 couples chosen to meet a birthmom that was just introduced to the agency. Anna is her name. She is 16. The birthfather is 18 and a marine currently stationed in Afghanistan. Unsure of the complete details at this time, but apparently Anna was unsure of how far along she was and went into the clinic to have an abortion. She was advised at that time that she had two options: 1.) get ready for a kid in less than 5 weeks or 2.) meet with the on-site adoption agency. She chose adoption and has a very supportive mother, who i believe is encouraging the adoption. It is still unknown exactly how far along she is. They are guessing she is between 34 and 40 weeks prego because when they did the vaginal ultrasound they could only see the head...so she could deliver at any time... CRAZINESS! We got additional information today that we are now the ONLY couple that she is meeting with and as long as she likes us then we are good :o) We are going to meet Anna on Friday and I will update again. Keep those fingers and toes crossed!
