WWCND?

Would you wait until a little time has passed and you've told parents and cousins and close friends, or would you just blurt out* that you got matched with a birth mom this morning even though the only other people who know are your H and a couple of work folks for both of us because Jimmy's at a conference in FL and we want to tell folks together, even if it's just on the phone?

  • That's what I thought.

    I'm trying not to get too excited until it's a done deal, but this one sounds like a much less risky placement than the other.  The birth mother is 19, her ex (baby's father) and her mother are on board with the adoption plan.  She specifically asked to be placed with a gay couple and chose us from the profiles of same-sex couples she was offered. 

    No major health issues, and she's due on 2/8.  No idea what the gender is yet.

  • Wow. I have to re-evaluate my opinion of teen moms with that new update.

    Is she going to have an ultrasound to find out the sex? Is she out of state like the other?

  • Oh, I was so hoping to see this news when I opened your post!  Congratulations, good luck, yippeeeeee, yaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!!!

  • I don't know if she's finding out the gender.  She has only seen a doctor once so far, but is on prenatal vitamins.  From what I understand, she's either getting on health insurance or trying to work something out with her health insurance provider (my guess is it's the former) so she can begin regular visits and things. 

    I think she's in Pennsylvania, and not more than an hour away from us.

  • When does Jimmy come back?
    How are you feeling? How is he feeling? Are you going to celebrate? Can our kids be best friends? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? Are you considering the names Keving or Bacon?
  • That's fantastic news.  Congratulations!
  • YAY!  So happy for you, Groomz.
  • AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! YAYAYAY!!!

  • Also, I'm sure the social workers know all this, but most states have fairly easy eligibility guidelines for pregnant women in their Medicaid programs.  It would cover her prenatal care, the delivery, and post partum visits.

    1) Tonight.  He's probably on a plane right now.

    B) Not sure if we will tonight, but we definitely will some time soon. 

    III) of course.  As long as my kid's allowed to call your kid Number 1.

    Vajackula) Let's see.  One...Two...Three...(crunch) Three.
