Well it's now Sunday and we have had the weekend to wrap our heads and hearts around this. So much has happened this week, I doubt we even fully grasped how monumental it was or is for that matter.
On Friday afternoon I got a call from the CAS Case Worker and she said that they have set up a meeting with *Tanya (the birthmother) in her home town on Friday at 10am. So this is really happening! We will be meeting our very first Birthmother in less then 5 days time.
Nervous? What ME?? Nahhhh!!!! lol!
Then on Friday evening I got a "Friends Request" from Birthmother on Facebook. She said in her message "I won't stop fighting until * Sadie is in your arms!!" This was really nice to read, as we had no way of knowing how she really felt about us. She told *Ann later that evening that although she was incredibly sad to be loosing yet another daughter - she was happy and relieved with her decision in picking Paul and I to adopt her.
We have been warned however by the CAS case worker, that she may wish to review other couples profiles - so we need to be ready for that. I think that CAS will encourage her to look at others so that she is confident with her ultimate decision whatever that may turn out to be.
Now for the hard question: Our CAS worker has asked us to have some names ready as the Birthmother will be asking us what we plan on calling her. We have agreed to keep her first name and use it as her middle name - but we would like to give her a fresh new start with a fresh new name. We have shortened our list down to 7 names (actually 6 'cause one of them I am not %100 on).
I am still debating whether or not I will post them and get some opinions. But we are on the fence with this as names are such a personal thing that we may have to take this one on our own.
I'll keep you posted.

OK - I am new at this (being a granny that is) so I thought I would put it out there as to what name we should go by. Guess the best bet is to stick with what we know(granny and gramps).Anyway, that being said, we are all excited about the prospect of becoming grandparents - who wouldn't!! Our fingers and toes are crossed for you two come three. Love, Mom & Dad
I wish you and Paul all the best tomorrow Meag. You know that I have been in your corner from day one. You are an amazing person and your love and determiantion will shine tomorrow. I am thinking about you and can't wait to hear your news.
