Tuesday morning, I woke to the sound of the telephone ringing. I missed it. Immediately, my cell rang. This time I got to it on time. On the other end was the adoptive parent caseworker for our agency. The call was short, simple and sweet. But ... of course welcomed.
She asked "IF I had a situation where the birthfather is "unknown", would you and Brian be okay with it". Of course, I said "Yes"! It caught me by surprise because there have been other similiar situations in the past and she knew then we were ok with it. I am thinking they must have to ask each time, since it does say "Little or No Birthfather Risk" in our preferences.
Although she worded it with a big "IF" it was pretty clear she is currently working on a situation and will be showing our profile.
I promised myself I WOULD NOT get too hopeful. Yeah, right....
I am doing better than in the past, but of course it's in the back of my mind. And, in a way it pulled me out of th slump where I was not allowing myself to think like an waiting adoptive Mommy.
What a mix of emotion.
I may and may not hear more from her. But, it can't hurt to pray - and ask for your prayers!

Take it one beautiful day at a time, Pep ... best things often happen when not expected. Say a prayer ... take a deep breath ... hope for the best. I've just said a prayer for you.
Praying too. :) Julie
What a wonderful call. I'll be praying.
I love these kinds of posts...if it works out - this is the story you will be sharing. You should have fainted or something to add some "spice" to the story :)
Praying the right thing happens---whatever that may be...
I'm praying Pep!
Thanks for the prayers! Your support truly makes the wait easier. It was nice to hear from them - just knowing we haven't been forgotten gives a ray of hope! Hugs- Pep
Petunia - I laughed when I read your post about adding spice! If only there was some more to say!
Good luck. I'll be thinking about you!
