Success after IF

Big night! (UPDATED)

We're having our first phone conversation with the birth parents tonight... in an hour and a half!!  I'm scared. I've been coached a little on things to talk about and things not to talk about.  I just really want her to like me.  

I'll update later, but if you have some calming vibes to send my way that'd be GREAT! 

(And, is a glass of wine ill-advised? I'm thinking maybe I'll loosen up a little...) 

 

ETA:  No freaking answer!  What a let down.  We called twice and left a message saying she could call us back anytime.   There is NOTHING easy about this process!  (For all those that say, "just adopt")

 

After THREE years, our IVF miracle is here!!!
