Ok, I've left you all hanging for a while... The meeting that was supposed to happen a few weeks ago got postponed to this past Tuesday (11/4) for reasons I won't go into. Because of some of the things that transpired in the past month after my last blog entry, we were not sure this meeting was going to go well at all. Munchkin's case trajectory was definitely moving toward us adopting him, it was now just going to be a question as to whether or not Munchkin's mom was going to relinquish her rights or if they were going to have to go through the process of terminating her rights.
We still hoped that she would do the right thing for him on her own, and if she did, we'd still consider an open adoption. Low and behold... she verbally made a beautifully self sacrificing and loving decision for her sweet baby and agreed to enter an open adoption with us. We all cried and she cried and we all told her how proud we were of her. What could have been a very ugly and heart breaking meeting, turned into something beautiful and full of hope.
Nothing is in writing yet, but the ball is rolling in the right direction. If all goes well, though we don't have a time line yet, this could mean getting to officially adopt Munchkin much sooner than expected.
In other news... We're having a Boy! Jackson Asher Davis. Munchkin is going to have a little brother. We've already picked out his nursery decor, and I have some plans for Munchkin's room too. :) Now we just need to finish clearing out our spare room, do some painting, and save up to buy some of the things I've registered for.
