Plans? Hah!

So, things are unfolding in a completely different way than I thought they would. I thought for sure that I would make a plan with E, or maybe P. But both of them seem to have disappeared since Labor day weekend. I've left two messages for each of them which have not been returned and neither one of them have returned the papers to my lawyer. However, J has been in constant contact with her MO lawyer that my lawyer recommended and has sent back her papers. She is caucasian, the father is AA and it is a boy- not exactly the scenario that was in my head, but we are going ahead and I am excited. Not took excited though- I called her a couple of days ago and have yet to hear back. Also,she was recently hit by a car and so the possibility of early labor is very real.

Upside of the roller coaster

I haven't written in a while, but I do have updates. Labor day weekend I got callbacks from 3 of the expectant moms I am in contact with.

1. P from MO- she has a bit of drama surrounding her which worries me a little. She was in a common law marriage with the father of this baby- he left, now he wants her to move somewhere with him. It sounds like he was abusive and she is saying no.. for now.. but who knows what will happen. She has not told him about the adoption plan. He smashed her car and has she has no way to get to the doctor. She is not even sure of how far along she is. BUT she kept telling me that she felt connected to me and she didn't think she would feel this way about another person's ad and she hoped I was committed. I told her I was but until she gets confirmation of pregnancy to my lawyer my hands are tied.

2. E from PA called me back- told she had spent a week at her father's house and her cell phone fell in the pool and she did not have my number which is why she had not returned my calls. She was very apologetic and confirmed her commitment to me. She told me she was going to send the papers back the next day. We had a nice conversation. I called her a couple of days ago and left another message.

3. J from MO- she had actually had a brief conversation with my lawyer and had Suzanne refer her to a lawyer in MO. I spoke to her again this week- she was getting the paperwork together to send to Suzanne this week. She expressed how glad she was that she had answered my ad and that she knew she was making the right decision. She seems really stable and a good prospect.

So, here we have it. Still no commitment, but 3 real good potentials. I will call the lawyer this week to see if she has received any of the paperwork from these women.

waiting still

So, now I can't seem to get in touch with E from PA who has seemed my most likely bm. Both C and P from MO have already hit me up for money without even submitting proof of pregnancy. It appears that C has gone to jail in order to work off a fine, so I have no idea what will happen with her. P on the other hand just told me that she sent the paperwork back to my lawyer sans proof of pregnancy. Hopefully, she will get that this week. I also have another bm in MO- J. She called my lawyer and got paperwork sent to her, but my lawyer never called and told me, even though she told me this was her policy. GRRRR.. anyway, J is due in December and seems really on the ball. So, now I POTENTIALLY have 6 bms on board. Of course I know that I will only end up working with one and that is all that I need.
