Well, this was an interesting day.  I got a call earlier today from the adoption agency.  They had a profiling opportunity that was going to be a quick turnaround.  The birth mom didn't realize she was pregnant (which I always find mystifying when I hear stories like that) and wound up giving birth at home two days ago.  She then took the baby to the hospital (the one where Nora was born - it was a local case) and they said he was perfectly healthy.  But he was going to be discharged today and they needed a home for him ASAP.  So for a few hours I sat with the possibility that I would have a baby this afternoon.  But we were one of six profiles being sent and we didn't get picked.  

On the plus side, at least it was a fast decision so we didn't have to be in limbo for days.  

Also, I feel bad for these agency workers.  I always feel they're bracing themselves to deliver bad news and are generally surprised when I just accept it as a matter of fact. 

I wonder what it means about us that the birth moms who are most interested in us are the ones that aren't really ready to go through with the process.
