We left our phone conversation with BM #1 without a real sense as to what she was thinking but knew exactly how we felt. It feels like this weird moonlighting job we have that if we spend too much time focusing on, we will tear our hair out, so we don't. But then suddenly, we get contacted and put back on our superhero costumes and are off to fight crime or something!

longest journey ever...
This is why I am not a good blogger... I nearly forgot I had this until Wally reminded me with his update.Today I hot a wall in this process of complete and utter frustration at the vulnerability I feel as a someone awaiting an adoption match. We have been so transparent with every person that has contacted us since December and today I realized that the information that they really have about us is either from a website (which is electronic) , a piece of paper (our letter) or MOSTLY from emails (more electronic) and we spoke to 3 out of the 7 potential birthmoms, never more than 1 time. It is just a weird set of criteria to think you know someone by. We are open to answering any questions and yet feel such sensitivity as to what we can ask back. Will it give the wrong impression? Will we seem too pushy?
