The Trifecta?:
Ok, It’s a normal everyday Monday and I had to run errands
because, well lazy weekend. I got our 3
year LMHL letter in the mail today. YAY!
Now to fill it out and send it in!
Then our AC returned our call from late last Friday
regarding some up-coming changes to the website I had some questions on. While she couldn’t answer them outright she
did send for more info so I should know within a few days. Again I see this as a win.
Oh, look a call from ?? from IAC ok why are they
calling. Holy Moly someone is looking at
us and uh YES!
Oh but wait what I actually said is please find out more
because we just had our lives shattered a few months ago and I don’t want to be
considered if we won’t be a good match.
Now you know 6 months ago I’d have immediately jumped yes, yes, yes call
me!; Today not so much. I am THRILLED we
are being considered but I want to be sure it’s a good fit. This is the sad face of adoption. This is the reality that happens that most of
us don’t talk about if we’re long waiters. I want this to work out and be the
ONE but I’m also resigned to the fact she could choose another family or to
parent. Adoption is amazing and
beautiful if a painful, emotional route to a family but I still keep the faith
it’ll happen for us one day.
To me, on paper she is a perfect match for us but until we
talk I won’t know. Here’s the one thing I do know, this potential match if it
happens, no one will know. I cannot put
my family and friends through what we went through previously. Only if it’s a success will anyone know. Sorry family and friends but it benefits us
all in the end. Yes, I’m all for Open
adoption but not the heartache that can happen from it not happening. (Believe me someone or two or three in my
adoption circle will be hearing from me because um high emotions but I trust
them to say nothing and let me vent). I’m hoping our check in tomorrow gives us
good info to move forward. I hope we can connect and get a rapport going. So many emotions on all sides if you haven’t
been here you don’t explicitly understand. I don't expect you to but please don't suppose because I posted this that we are matched; we aren't. It's simply a contact and most of those go with the wind, I hope not here but I always hope that way but the fact is until we match, get relinquishment, and then get home it isn't a done deal. Even then we have to go through extensive post-placement reviews by the state to be sure everything is going as it should. So it's a brutal few months even after the birth/placement (should it happen).
I may sound harsh or cold but honestly I’m not. I’m protecting everyone’s’ hearts, including
our own and the mother in question, it’s her child until she signs
relinquishment's. I want nothing but the best for the child and their mother and
I do hope it’s us but if it isn’t; it isn’t. I can’t help and won’t change who
we are or what a mom may want for their baby. I want nothing more than to have
a mother we really connect with who has a support network and open adoption in
her heart.
Let’s rally! Go team Davis!
