Adoption

Got a call tonight birthmom had another baby last night

We were contacted today that DD's birthmom had another baby last night and she's been taken into state custody and they want to know if we want her, since we have the bio sister. OMG we never planned for this. Part of me is freaking out thinking I can't have a newborn and a 2 year old, but that's my babies sister! We are going to see the baby in the hospital tonight and then will decide. I'm scared to death! We got so lucky with DD's adoption through foster care, I'm not sure I can go through it and have it be difficult, especially with a toddler. Ill keep y'all posted!
Our Journey from two to three! 3 IUI's, 2 IVF's, decided to move to foster/adopt. 12/24/2009 Baby C born, 2/1/2010 placed with us, 5/17/2011 Adoption final- we are finally a forever family! Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

Re: Got a call tonight birthmom had another baby last night

  • wow!  Exciting and nerve wracking at the same time.  I don't know what you will say - but I would say YES.

    Justin has 2 other siblings, both were removed and both adopted.  We know that if she had another child, and that child needed a home - we would accept without hesitation.

    Good luck in your decision

  • Wow, that's a lot to take in! But what an amazing opportunity. 

    I hope y'all are able to come to a decision soon. Best of luck!

    We are very excited to adopt! Application sent to agency December 2010. Homestudy complete May 2011. We went into the books in July 2011. After years of trying it's nice to have a light at the end of a very long, dark tunnel. DD born in September 2011. We finalize our adoption this week!

    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

  • Oh how exciting... but I understand her fear too.  Prayers to you :)

     FWIW-  My girls are 8.5 months apart and I wouldn't change a thing. While we've had our crazy moments, it's now MY family. It's the way it's suppose to be for us. We hadnt planned on getting lucky with a second so soon... but what a blessing.

  • OMG, I am dying for an update.  I hope things are going ok.  If you don't post soon, I'm going to see if I can dig out your number and text you, lol!

    Good luck in whatever you decide to do.  I will say, I couldn't go to the hospital and then make up my mind.  I'd be bringing that baby home, best choice be darned.

  • Wow!  How exciting!  AND scary!  And...WOW!

    Please tell update us!  I'm thinking of you, that sweet baby, and BM!

  • Oh, wow!  See, that is like our dream come TRUE (well, not for Alice's BM to be taken into custody, she is a GREAT person), but we joke all the time about approaching her with the thought of having another baby "for us" : )  I can only imagine how bittersweet this must feel, though, because you are thinking realistically of dealing with two under two.  We would be in the same place if for some reason we were placed for #2 within the next year, but I HIGHLY doubt that will end up happening so we aren't thinking it.  GL with your decision.  I kow you will do what is right for your family : )

  • I know exactly how u feel. When our son (who is my nephew) was first placed with us I went to the hospital to visit my sister and the next day the baby came home with me instead of her and she is pregnant again and due in march. I hope that no matter what you decide to do you are at peace with your decision. Keep me updated!
