My phone rang, I noticied the number was from a 225 area code. When I answered, I heard a voice, "Mrs. Rebecca it's (birth mom), I have one more question for you. Would you and David be the mom and dad for my daughter?" I said, "of course we will...thank you, thank you, thank you. Wow.... really? Wow...thank you! Do you need anything?" and she replied, "No they take good care of me here and I work and I am ok." I couldn't believe my ears, she wanted to give her daughter to us and didn't want anything in return. She just knew she wanted a loving family for her child.
I hung up the phone, ran inside and started to jump up and down on the bed screaming we get to be a mommy and daddy, we get to be a mommy and daddy. At that the phone rang again, this time it was our social worker... her first words were, What are you doing? All I could say was the truth, jumping on the bed!
She told me that the birth mom had called her once she made her decision and wanted to call us and personally tell us, which I am so glad that she did.
