Oct. 17th, 2010 03:53 pmIn our adoption group, there have been three placements so far, two pregnancies after they'd decided to go with this process post-fertility treatments, and one match coming up for a baby due in March.
Here's our latest. Sometime this summer, someone on the Adoption STAR yahoo group had posted that a lawyer she was working with was looking for someone interested in a placement with an African American birth mom. Clearly this woman wasn't interested in that case, but was willing to pass the info on. This lawyer lives in our town so I called her up and dropped off a profile. That was the last I heard.
Wednesday night this lawyer called us to see if we'd be interested in a completely different case. This was a couple in college together who had made private plans with some people, but they backed out because they still hadn't properly dealt with their fertility issues. The lawyer said she was due in 3-4 weeks and everything looked good, so we said yes. She still had our profile since the birth mom from the previous case had never been back in touch.
Friday she called again to say the baby had been born that day, but the profiles hadn't gotten to them yet. The original plans had been for the profiles to get there this weekend anyway, but of course they'd have to make a quick decision since I presume the baby would need to be discharged today.
This lawyer isn't exactly touchy feely like the agency so I figured we'd only hear back from her if she had something positive to say. And at this point, I think we can safely we're not hearing anything.
