Adoption

Ultrasound....

So, our Emom invited us to her ultrasound this coming Friday. Of course we said yes. We were supposed to meet her parents over Easter, but of course with the death of my FIL we couldn't.  We texted to make sure she still wanted us at the US (because we get that emotions and all that jazz can change and maybe she just wanted it to be without us)... She wrote back "Yes, definitely" and then told us her mom is going to be there and could we meet them a bit early at Starbucks before the US to meet her. So now I'm in two massive freakouts at the same time.

Freakout 1: birth grandmom is going to see the baby and talk her out of placement

Freakout 2:  omg we have to meet her mom and it's gonna be so awkward.

 I'm pretty sure this is all me showing my crazy (I've honestly had the most stressful 2 weeks of my life)...but blargh. and help. 

 My mom keeps trying to rationalize with me that if I was making an adoption plan I'd have wanted my family around for support and that's probably all it is...

    No need to freak.  Her mom may be at the hospital when she delivers as well.  At least you will see first hand her thoughts about the adoption.  GL.

  • That is a lot all at once, but sounds like your Emom has a supportive relationship with her mom. Maybe meeting you (and putting a face to what she has heard from her daughter) will help take away any concerns or worries grandmom might&nb

  • What you're feeling is perfectly normal. But in our case DD's birthmom and her mom are always together when we meet--they're very close. There has never been any issue with BGM talking her out of anything. As a matter of fact, even though BGM bonded he

  • Focus on the positive- everyone is supporting this adoption plan and you are going to get to see your LO!!
