Sad news, they just tore down the Rec Room at the lake : ( So many good memories there!
We had a great weekend at the lake, the weather was gorgeous! I hung some of my pictures up in the Casino and Soda Fountain. Hopefully they sell, you never know but I did get a lot of nice feeback which was great!
Nothing new to report right now, the birthmothers next Dr's appt is Monday, she will be almost 35 weeks, so hopefully things are progressing nicely. Many people have asked if I will be in the delivery room, not sure. That conversation has yet to come up and I'm going to let her bring it up if she wants. She is only 15 and I'm sure her mother will be with her and it will be VERY emotional...not sure if it's my place.
So this is what happens when the baby arrives:
When she goes into labor they will call Jamie and I, we will hop in the car and head to NC. It's a 10 hour drive, which isn't too bad. Any time after the baby is born the birthmother can sign consent, basically saying we're the legal guardians ( or something like that). Once she does that and the baby is ready to leave the hospital, we take her home...or to our hotel in NC. If you are adopting a baby out of state you have to stay about a week. Then we come home! I have to double check with our lawyer I'm not sure if it's 60-90 days or 6 months (i've read both and every state is different) till the finalization, which means she is 100% ours. If the birthmother changes her mind after signing the consent but before finalization it goes to court and the judge decides who the best fit parents are. Hopefully none of that happens.
Nothing else really going on.
Congratulations to Mike & Kim, hope you are enjoying Hawaii. The wedding was awesome!
Congratulations to Kristin and Dan on the arrival of Collin!
