On Friday, Hubby, Birthmom, Birthgrandma and I met with the attorney handling our adoption. He is a kind and gracious man who has adopted his own children. In many ways, he seemed to understand mine and hubby's heartache and eagerness to be parents after so many failed attempts. He even graciously agreed to take payments because we have not raised all the money we need yet (no other attorney in town who handles adoptions would even consider this).
Everything seemed to go perfectly well, except we finally faced the fact that we have to deal with Birthfather now. Our attorney noted that if Birthfather does not sign the papers within 30 days, then his paternal rights will be automatically terminated, and he has no recourse. We pray this is the case.
Other than this snafu, we are very happy with how things went as are Birthmom and Birthgrandma. We are joyously counting the weeks until our daughter is in our arms, and our family is complete.
Hubby finished our baby's changing table today...it's absolutely beautiful. We cannot wait until my semester ends, so we can finish our daughter's nursery. Our daughter...I just can't seem to say it enough.
