Wow- back in May, I thought we were right at the finish line? If 6 months is the same as a breath, then yes- we were right there!For real now, we are "here." Officially in circulation as potential adoptive parents, we are primed and ready to get our first "birthparent contact." They say birthparent because it could technically be Birthmom or Birthfather who calls, but most likely it will be Birthmom.
When she dials our 1-800 number, we will receive her call with the Batphone: our pay-as-you-go, Nokia 1616.
So far, nearly two weeks in, the phone is still on its original charge and bumps around in my purse like an extra compact or maybe someone else's phone I agreed to hold but forgot to give back. On Thanksgiving it sang out a couple of beepy text message alerts intended for "Bro" and "Shirley." You know what they say about big thumbs and those teeny little keys. But surely it will ring sometime, right?
