Two phone calls seem to be the only ones of any importance to me these days. The first one where we find out a special little Angel needs our family. The second one being the one I just got on the 25th. "Can I drop by in about 40 minutes?" Ernie called and said he had an update and wants to talk to me while he was in the area. I have been waiting to hear from him for 2 and a half weeks to get the update on the "Family" or the "Bio-Family" that appeared on the radar.
Long story short (not really but...) the bio-family member never appeared again and they are moving forward with the family they found and hear we go! Because "Baby Girl" is a baby we will move though the transition a bit quicker since she will be able to adjust much faster and not have anyway of really disapproving of her new family. One of her parents is already requesting Family/Medical Leave to stay home with her for a few months. "We think they can pick her up on October 8th." EX-SQUEEZE ME??? (Not in quotes cuz I didn't say it out loud.) It was next week and I was in complete disbelief. The kids and Er & I had just been telling everyone we are looking forward to dressing her up for Halloween and will definitely ask for that to happen before she is transitioned. Now I can't ask them to wait 3 weeks so we can play dress-up. Even typing this I am in shock that this felt like a tornado going through. Thinking about it I figured out that the 8th is a Monday. There is no way I could sit around during the weekend and wait for Monday to come so I could pick up this beautiful baby I have been dreaming about. It's gotta happen on Friday or Saturday for sure. That makes it even sooner!!
Hearing Ernie talk about "Baby Girl's" forever family, I am already feeling comfortable about who they are. I know they are in So.Cal but still not sure where. They have an older daughter from a previous marriage not in the home with them all the time. From talking to them, Ernie had a good feeling that they would want to keep the communication open as she grew up. This was a big piece for us. We wanted to see what this little miracle becomes. She is meant to do something big - we are sure of it! Well, this is awesome. Except that we now have 10 days to love her and hold her and squeeze her and call her mine. Crappy!
With a slight tilt of his head and a deep sigh, Ernie says, "Now - there is one more thing I need to discuss with you." I started to freak out not understanding what it could possibly be. We seriously had all the important deal-breakers already happen...
(to be continued)
Good Nite!
