I posted over on the TTTC board, but wanted to post here too!!
Well, I've been MIA for a few days, but for good reason!
Thursday we got a call that there was a baby born situation in Louisiana if we were interested, and the birth mother had picked us! We spoke with the birth mom on the phone and then threw EVERYTHING in the car and hauled ass to Louisiana!!
We've been here since EARLY Friday morning, and today the birth mom signed consents for adoption. The birth father hasn't been found so that's still a risk, but I feel like we're about 75% through it all!! Hopefully it won't take the full 2 months to find him and terminate!!!
Now we're in the NICU, waiting for release. Baby was born a few weeks early and he's just working to get the hang of things! Otherwise, we're all doing well!!! We are absolutely in love!!
AHHHHHH!!!!! OSB! So freaking happy for you! And he's already born! I just cried real tears, girl. Do you have to stick around LA for a bit? When can you take him home? Enjoy the snuggles, you've earned it!
I know I messaged you and posted over there, but it seriously the highlight of my MONTH. And that says a lot since I am having a baby in 16 days, lol. I just could not be more happy for you guys.

This is so awesome!!!!!! I've told DH quite a bit about your adoption journey so congratulations from both of us! Hope everything continues to be quick & smooth. You deserve it!
I'm still reeling with excitement and joy over this so I'm posting a reply in here too!! THIS IS THE BEST NEWS!! So happy for you, I can't wait to see that sweet little boy of yours. All the love in the world to you all.
Did you already have the name picked out before you got the call? How old is LO? I so want to see pictures! (heart)
We picked out the name on the drive down, DH suggested it and I liked it and it fit! We're not really supposed to share photos online until everything is signed and processed, but then I'll show plenty!!
