Adoption
Some good luck again!
So as many of you may know, I've been posting quite a bit in the last few days. Had a young lady I know tell me she was pregnant and wanted us to adopt her baby. Very touching! Anyways....yesterday we were told no to using them to do our identified adoption by the agency we had planned to use. So all day yesterday I did lots of research on the internet and phone book and found some lawyers and agencies. Sent out some messages. I got a response today from an agency in the same city as the other agency. They told me that they can do the identified adoption for us if we are interested in using them. It is also pretty reasonable price wise. They sent me 2 different packets to read and they are full of all kinds of interesting things. I've gotta get my DH to look at the stuff and see what he thinks. Also I need to get some futher information for our pregnant friend so we can get both sides going and get her some counselling. We plan to meet up officially with her and her mother in the near future to talk and explain our sides of the story and how much it means to us that she would even think about giving us her child. I would never beg any one for their child. It will be great getting to know this young lady more as a person and friend rather then a student.
I've been praying so hard for something good to happen and that it will come to us as easily as possible, amoung other things. Hopefully things will keep falling into place.
Today I gave our friend a pregnancy journal she can write in and tell us about her experience and if it all works out, we can show our child one day.
Thanks to all of you for your support and advice! I'm trying to take your advice and put it to use as much as possible. You ladies are all so great!! Hugs to you all!

I am glad you found someone to help you.....
Please try and not get to excited yet it will be a long roller coaster ride and very stressful to get through. We have been there and it is very hard one everyone involved.
I hope everything works out for you.
When you meet with her and her mom, you may want to be prepared w/what you think might be a good open arrangement. If I were in her shoes, I think I'd love to know what sort of contact I can expect.
