Hey, I know that I don't know the whole situation, but I just want to encourage you...we were "shown" about 4 times before we were matched with BabyGirls' bmom, and each one of the expectant moms took a week or more to make a decision. That probably drives you crazy, but just think, if she takes this time now to really make the best decision she can, then you're more likely to have a solid match later.
Plus, we found out later that many of the potential emoms had taken the profiles with them to show to friends and family and get their feedback. Again, that's a good thing, becasue having buy-in and support from her family and support system means that she will be more likely to make a decision she's comfortable with.
All that being said, I know that the wait has to be driving you nuts...I'm praying!

My name is Pep and I am married to a wonderful, wonderful man, BT. For 7+ years we've enjoyed the perks of marriage and have walked a long journey toward bringing a child into our home through adoption! We're from Western New York where we enjoy the 4 amazing seasons God has created. BT works in the media as a writer, producing new casts. I am a child day care director, truly the most rewarding job on earth.
As a wife, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, partner, boss, caretaker, bookkeeper, etc...I love life and enjoy the people around me. We believe God is the author of our lives and it's in Him we place our trust believing all things work for the good to those who love God. We are sinners, saved by God's grace.

It took me about two weeks to make the decision. I also took copies of profiles home to show to family, friends and to pray over.
You're both right! I shouldn't be stressing out over it. Afterall, if it's meant to be, it will all fall into place. Right?
It is reassuring to think she is taking her time - so she will have confidence in her decision.
Praying Praying Praying!
Pep Dear...just checking in to see how you're holding up. The wait must seem loooooong...
Love,
Mindy
