Just before Christmas we got news of another situation. This one was a lot more relaxed because the baby, a girl, was not due for a few more months. The birth mother had some very definite requests, though. Some we fit perfectly, some we fell a little short on. We decided to take the chance on it. Kit felt like it would be the one. I didn't. I had also just been thinking that we would get a boy. I've always thought (wanted) I would have a boy first and we have been told from a lot of different sources that not as many girls are placed for adoption as boys. I also felt like she might pick us, but that she would probably change her mind before the placement ever occurred.
We gave the agency approval to show our profile and waited......and waited. It was about two weeks before we got the news. I tried not to think about it because every time I did I felt like I was trying to talk myself in to feeling right about the situation. Then I would feel guilty for not just being grateful that our profile was being shown. By the time we got the phone call that she had chose someone else, I was just relieved. I called Kit to tell him and I could tell that he was disappointed. He still thinks we will have a girl. Maybe we will get twins and both of our ideas will be fulfilled. What do you think we will have?
I kind of wanted a boy first but I am now glad we had a girl first. Twins would be awesome :)
