We were driving through town with a friend and the phone rang. I was very distracted with a headache and could not focus on who was calling and what was being said.
I heard our Attorney's wife saying our profile had been showed to a birthmom and she chose us. What? us? Baby Girl? due in 6 weeks?
I almost dropped the phone! Eric was in a panic! Who is it?? What is happening? A girl? We were picked?
I had to hang up, I was so stunned, but my head was throbbing.
Eric and I called her back an hour later. I finally had something to eat and was prepared to learn more.
Adoption is an emotional roller coaster. When the phone rings it is always the beginning of a new ride. We had already been through several profiles being given to birthmoms so we were getting used to those conversations.
But as the day unfolded... so did our realization we had been picked... and were in the process of being matched.
