Where we are now

So one of the things that can be different in using an attorney vs. an agency is in some cases you have to answer your 800 number calls yourself.  As our attorney put it, "it is a luxury to be able to pay someone else with experience in this to stay home and answer the phones for you."  Having said that, here I am on Day 5 of what will likely be pretty much 3 weeks of staying close to home, or not leaving the house, waiting for the phone to ring and have the caller be someone who is pregnant and does want to put his/her child up for adoption.  

Thus far our calls have been a couple of hang ups and wrong numbers, which I am hoping are women working up the nerve to speak, a couple of real weirdo's, and many,  about 5 women or so asking us if would like a surrogate or someone to donate eggs.   Three women who are actually pregnant right now have called and we have sent our profile to them.  

So here I sit on Day 5...I have plenty of "To Do's" in the house but not really able to focus yet on getting them done....funny how that works...all this time stretched out before me, with plenty of projects to do...well,  you know how it goes sometimes.  

edited later today: finally a connection;  a young woman who seems to know that adoption is the best choice for her and I really like her.   Amazing the places you end up....it never is where you thought  you would.  funny.
