It's a GIRL!

Well it turns out our wild goose chase wasn't so wild after all.
Friday, birth mom called us.  She couldn't care for the baby and wanted us to come get her.
I put Mrs. Cheriway on a plane the next day.  We set up a meeting with the attorney today to have mom sign the adoption paperwork.
Everything went pretty smooth for Mrs. Cheriway (with the exception of the fact our GPS decided that it was going to start speaking German!)
About 50 hours from the time we got the text from the mom asking us to come the meeting was too happen.  I sat waiting in Connecticut for word.  Nothing but quiet.  Started getting very nervous so I went online and checked the local newspaper website in Florida and listened to their Police/EMS/Fire scanner.
At 11:56am I got a text with three simple words..  "She did it!!!"

Unbelievable.  When I got off work Friday, we though our weekend would involve a Whale Watching trip out of Gloucester, Mass - watching some football on Sunday and putting together a scrap book to give to put out for birth mom's through our adoption agency here in Connecticut.

A day and a half later - we are new parents of a beautiful 12 day old baby girl!!!

3000 Mile Wild Goose Chase

Well, sad to report that we got to Florida with dogs in tow.
We met with the mom and her friends.  Spent time with them and everything seemed to be fine.
Baby was born on Tuesday, September 4th.  Suddenly, mom didn't want us to visit much.  The next day she texted us that she had changed her mind and wanted to keep the baby.
