Not much news, but some news.

I spoke with the case worker today. She has given the birthmom our profile, and the birthmom will look it over. The case worker said she didn't seem scared off by the fact that we are from Wisconsin. The case worker did say that the birthmom had chosen one family from the set of three that she would like to meet. She suggested to the birthmom that she wait to make a final decision until she's had a chance to look at our stuff.

Also, the family she chose is in the midst of another adoptive possibility - so who knows. The case worker is going to recommend that they pass on our opportunity, and pursue this other one. It sounds like that family needs prayer for wisdom as well. They are going through the Foster Care adoption route, and are scheduled to be placed with a child (22 month old) the very same week that our birthmom is due. The mother of the 22 month old is also due with another child the same week, so there may be two children involved. The case worker doesn't think it's wise to go from nothing to three kids under the age of two in a matter of hours. So...

We don't know much more at this point. Trish is much more encouraged at this point than I am. I guess that I'm fighting the battle of unbelief.

Some other good updates.

• Birthmom scheduled a doctor's appointment for the next few days.
• She's also supposed to meet with the family who is offering to take her in rent-free until she gets back on her feet - that meeting is supposed to take place on Saturday.
• Birthmom approached her boss and asked if she could be transfered to another location to get her out of that particular neighborhood. He said "Yes."
• Birthmom and Case Worker had a good conversation today about the technical details on adoption.
  
• According to the calendar, baby is due May 10th. According to a sonogram (at some point), baby is due the last week of April.
  

I'm trying to not get too attached, but it's hard.

Thanks for reading!
