mommyhood...is wonderful

SO, I've been a mom for a week and it is amazing. I cant believer how this all turned out. I went from having extreme doubts about whether or not someone would make an adoption plan with me TO holding a little boy in my arms in a matter of hours. Living in a hotel room with a newborn is not the easiest of tasks, but it has been well worth it. I hope to go home on Friday- I am waiting for something called the Interstate Compact to be approved basically I have to be approved both by NY and PA before I can take Jonah out of PA. So it is a lot of waiting. This takes 5 to 10 days after the 72 hour waiting period passes. So the 72 hour period was up on Friday night- the BP and I signed papers yesterday and those were filed today. So now we just need to wait until both states approve. Then the BP plan to go to court on Monday to relinquish their rights and I will become Jonah's legal and permanent parent. How amazing!! I am so grateful to Jonah's BP right now- they made the choice to go to court and relinquish their parental rights rather then wait the 30-45 days. They are really good people and I like them a lot. Meanwhile I took Jonah to the doctor's office today and he gained a good amount of weight and is doing really well. I am so happy- now if I could just get home, LOL>
