thanks, i think birthmom is doing ok i think she is wondering everyday if she is doing the right thing. i know that it is a huge decision if she changes her mind and decides against adoption placement, that she knows that it is not just a whim on her part. its not easy. i just want this to be over with!!! i want this rollercoaster ride to stop!!! i thought it would be so exciting when we were matched and it was now i am just scared to death!!!!

I wish I knew what to say. I know what you are going through. I have been in your shoes. This is such a difficult time for you and the birthmom. I hope everything works out for you. I will be praying that she will find the strength and courage she needs to be strong. Best wishes always. Good luck.

Just wanted to send a BIG hug your way! I'm an adoptive mom to a 2 1/2 year old little boy, so I've been off the roller coaster ride for a while now... All I can say is I have been there and understand where you are coming from... If you have any other specific questions, I'll be here to help you out if I can.... Where are you located? We are in Texas and in an open adoption with our son's first parents... Hugs to you and I wan to wish you the very best of luck! It's a tough ride at times, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat if given the opportunity! (We are looking to adopt once again... so hopefully soon!) ....Kara

we were recently matched (last week) i think that our birthmom has realized that this is really real now. she is due in a few weeks and everything is happening so fast. we never expected her to be 100 percent all the time, infact we expected a waiver here and there. i just didn't expect it right after the match. she also found out the sex of the baby for us , she was waiting until she found a family. I think she has just come to full term with everything and it has really hit her hard. however we have always gone into this knowing that she can change her mind, this is so hard. It truly is an emotional roller coaster. She is a great birthmom, we couldn't have asked for a better person. anybody out there with some support?
