ok um..... the adoption agency called. A Birth mother has chosen us and another couple.
GULP
The baby was born on April 12th, and is bi-racial - East Indian Trinidadian (birth mom) and a Pale Dominican Republic Latino (birth dad). The baby scored a 9 out of 9 on the apgar, and is small, but healthy. Narda and I are going to talk it over on the weekend.
The birth mother chose us and one other couple. If Narda and I say yes, then the birth mom will look at our photo albums, and chose one couple.
It's SCARY and EXCITING to think HOLY CRAP - this could happen in a moment.
I was surprized to realize that I'd have a reaction to the baby's race. I want to be certain that it looks a little black, you know, to honor Narda. How weird am I - it's probably GEORGEOUS, and I should be smacked right now.
I'll keep you posted, just send good vibes our way....
Congrats, good luck, hope this all goes exactly as you wish it. It's really great news. :)
