More info about the potential birthmother considering us

Well, curiousity got the better of me, so I emailed our SW to find out more about this potential birthmother. He emailed me back and told me that she is AA (already knew that) and she is having twins (knew that) one of each gender (didn't know that). She is not a member of the church, they do not have any information on the Birthfather. She is due in April, but expect her to be induced in March. They do not have her medical history yet, but the babies are looking strong and healthy on ultrasound. It was just so nice to hear more about her, and I am even more excited about it. I don't know how many other couples she is considering, and I really shouldn't be too hopeful, but I just can't help it. One thing that I mentioned to Brother Watson, was that it was hard not to be hopeful about this situation since it is the first time that we have been considered. He assured me that we have been considered many times by other birthmoms. So I suppose he does not tell us when we are being considered, he must of just told us this time because he had some questions for us. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. It is nice to know we are being considered by potential birthmothers, but at the same time, if we have been considered by many, why have we not been matched yet. I am not going to worry about that now though, we will just wait and see how this situation turns out and I can continue to be hopeful about it.

Yesterday we had the opportunity to be a part of Sister Reed's presentation about LDS FS. She was actually presenting in our ward this time, and many of the members of our ward already know that we are trying to adopt, but it was still good. Of course, I did not realize how difficult it would be for me to bear my testimony about adoption and not become emotional. I really don't even know what I said. We only had five minutes, so only I spoke this time. I am so grateful for adoption, and even though we are being a part of the presentation to help us find our baby, I know that I would want to keep doing it, even after we are placed. I think more people need to know about adoption and what LDS FS can offer birthparents.
