Wednesday morning's "goodbye" visit with her birthmom went very well, from what I can tell. As supportive as I was of the meeting, I was a nervous wreck yesterday morning while getting me and the baby dressed to go.
So, with an incredibly shaky tummy (mine), I took the baby up to the appointment with her birthmom. A friend came along to hold my hand, which I really appreciated! The social worker came and met us in the cafeteria, took the baby and a "thank you" letter we'd written to the birth mom, and returned with the baby less than 15 minutes later! Amanda's birth mom even let the social worker take 2 pictures with the disposable camera I'd sent along of her and Amanda. The social worker didn't give me many details, because she wanted me to leave since the birth mom was still upstairs filling out some medical background that we'd asked for (totally voluntary), and she didn't want us running into each other.
I'm so glad that the meeting happened, but I'm so glad it's over!
Thanks to everyone who has been following our story, and keeping us in their prayers!

Glad to hear that the meeting went well. I misunderstood: I thought you would personally be meeting the birth mom, but your arrangement was better. I know you can 'relax' (what's that??!!!) knowing you're over this hump of the adoption procedure.
I know how good it must've been to be back in your own house, with your own things, etc. But to still seeing burning hills in the distance is still unnerving to me.
Here's to the future with Amanda Grace!! Amen!
love, Kathleen
