All adoption paperwork is done (for now)! Now it's time to focus one preparing for a newborn.
For those nog sure of the whole adoption process, there are a lot of decisions to make about what sort of adoption you are comfortable with.
The route Jeff and I have decided to take has two possibilities for what will happen next.
1 - We get "matched" with a birth mother who has made a tough decision before she has given birth. With this option we can make a loose plan for the next few months, since we'll have an idea on due date, etc. we'll also probably get more of a chance to communicate with the birth mother before the birth.
2 - Option 2 is, we get a call that z birth mother is in the hospital & already given birth. That could happen at any time, and anywhere here in Texas.
So here is my list of things I can check off of a list ;)
Shower(s) scheduled - check
Baby basics registered for - check
Crib bought & put together - check
"Baby on the Ground" bag almost packed & will include the following
* 2 oz baby bottles
* box of newborn diapers
* wipes
* car seat
* several onsies washed & ready to go
* blanket
* cute baby booties
Oh! Should probably include a hat/cap. I think that's all we'll need in case we get a call & we have to take off.
