Were we picked or not picked...

that is the question on every one's mind??!! We were not chosen by the birth mother in GA. It was between us and another couple and she chose the other couple. No worries....all is well in the Smith household. To be honest, I wasn't really crushed when I received the news. Scot and I bounced back pretty well. We just came to the conclusion that it wasn't the right time and it'll happen at some point.

It was also decided today that our caseworker will show our profile to another birth mother who personally requested to view our profile. I'm not sure when she'll view it but it will happen. She's due in April and she lives in the area. Long story short...Scot and I learned of this birth mother from a student at Scot's work. Scot found out that she was looking for an adoption agency. We were going to meet her in person, but I only spoke to her on the phone. I explained that Gladney is our adoption agency and I gave her some information about Gladney. We couldn't believe that she remembered us back from December. If anything great comes out of this situation we'll be sure to let you know.

In the meantime, we're back to the waiting game. We do however get to attend the "Approved and Waiting" dinner on Sunday for couples that are apart of the Gladney Family Association so that will be fun.

Have a great rest of the week!!!

Becca and Scott.. I love the attitude.. You time will come sooner than you know it.. Gladney has been wonderful to us.. We got the call on Jan the 9th.. We spoke with the emom.. They chose us on the 10th.. The baby was supposed to be born on 02/04 but end up comming on 01/22. We missed the birth by three hours.. However, everything has been wonderful.. Please keep up the positive attitude!!!!
