I don't think you can prepare yourself if the adoption falls apart, it is a risk. I think you should go for it and see what could happen. What do you have to loose?

absolutely nothing. I think the girls already are having second thoughts. Why do I say girls. 4 of them got together and voted. I don't know if it is falling apart or the ring leader is just having boyfriend problems. I tried to get her to talk to me about talking to the girls family and she said oh we will make a decision in a few weeks. I have no idea how to tell my dad. I think I should give the pregnat girls mom a call and ask her what is going on. right now I have visions of 4 girls ages 15-16 planning to live together and raise this child on their own. This has disaster written all over it. Could they just be upset that I would not agree to the name Kurt Clinton. my republican husband who is so happy when I called him, has called 5 times today. he is on travel and talked for hours. Unheard of. Will never agree to the name clinton. We already had names picked out too. family names. Not something to break the dealofver. the child can have several middle names and you use one of those.

I am praying and thinking good thoughts.

thanks for your advice.

Woohoo! Great! Go for it. I think with all the ups and downs of infertility, this is a chance that you should take as well. We are talking about adopting if we give it two more years and no luck for baby#2, then we will do it as well, so I say you should show your interest and hope for the best!
