Meet the (Expectant Grand) Parents.

Yikes. So, our expectant parent has asked us if we'd be willing to meet her parents. We of course said yes. (Did I post this?) In any case, color me terrified. We have a relationship with expectant parent already, and she told her parents last week. She reported that they are "very supportive and think she's making the right decision" but I'm still petrified and I have NO idea what you do when you meet the expectant grandparents. I'm fairly certain they are just looking for some reassurance that my partner and I aren't crazy and are going to be willing to have a relationship with them and their other chid (the expectant aunt). I don't know of anyone who had pre-placement meetings with family members unless it was during an initial meeting brokered by the agency social worker. So, talk to me ladies.

    We met the EGM at our first meeting, and saw her at the hospital, but you know how that all turned out, not going to rehash here.  GL.

    DD was already born when we were matched/placed, but her birthmom (J) has done everything with her mom beside her. Her mom was at the hospital with her when we first met, and had bonded with DD as well. She comes to all our visits with J, and has sent

    We met EGma... and I am so glad we did.  She wasn't thrilled w/the idea of adoption but we met and she saw we were normal (or appeared to be!) and she came around to the idea.  

    She's since said she had conjured up ideas in her mind of

    We met BM's parents the night we met BM. Our meeting was a little awkward. BGM was the only one to order alcohol and she was really harsh and abrasive. If that wasn't enough, through the course of the dinner, I found out she was only 2 years older than me
