Friday's Results

The case worker who we met with on Friday was super great. She gave us a lot of information regarding the birth mom in question and the agency. We went in not knowing what to expect and were pleasantly surprised with what she had to say. She wanted to present us with 3 other families to the birth mom and her parents on Tuesday.(as in TOMORROW) We were glad we brought our family booklet with us. I do not want to go into too many details about the birth mom J but she sounds like she is a nice person with a very supportive family. We were tasked to go home and write a personal hand written letter to J. It was weighing on us all day fri and saturday but we perservered and turned out the letter on Sunday. As I looked for some paper to re-write the letter on, I found some Hello Kitty paper. I told Paul jokingly that maybe we should write it on Hello Kitty paper and guess what, he said "YES, do that!, I think that would be perfect". He was not being sarcastic and after a few more minutes of thought, I decided it would be ok. Some of you might be cringing but you know what, that is who we are. We are not serious, stuffy people who try to be fancy. (at least I don't feel that way) I wrote very carefully and re-read it before sealing it in an envelope. Paul mailed it today next day air and it's supposed to be there before 10am tomorrow.
Please pray along with us that we are able to constructively handle uncertainty, and possibly disappointment. J and her parents will pick 2 families and meet both families sometime before she makes her decision. It could take a few weeks or a few days. The good thing was, we did not have to sign up with the agency yet, she encouraged us to look around if we needed to which suits Pauls thinking on the issue of an agency.
As soon as we know something I will post! The case manager said that she'd let us know either way.
