My first meeting with the Adoptive Parents

When I finally found the family the next step was to tell them that I chose them to be the parents for my child. I wanted to be creative so I went to the Hospital and found a cute little stork stuffed animal and wrote them a letter saying... "You have been chosen to be the parents of...... Name will have to be chosen later! Please visit your case worker to collect your prize." The next day I got a letter from both of them saying the feelings that had overcome them. That reassured all of the decisions that I had made up until that point. We continued to write letters to each other through our case workers and about a month after I choose them it was time to meet. This was a very confusing time for all of us. I was very nervous to meet them, I had so many emotions running through my body. Are they going to like me? Am I going to like them? What are we going to talk about? The day before the meeting Jared, My case worker, told me that it would be a good idea to write down the questions that I had for them and the things that I wanted to talk to them about. He informed me that the next day would be very hectic and so many emotions will overcome me that it would be a good idea to write some things down so I can get all of the information that I needed to know from then. Well, sure enough he was right. The second I stepped foot into the Agency I lost all train of thought that I had. I was a nervous wreck. Once Travis and Jessica walked into the room, somehow all if my insecurities disappeared. They had such a loving spirit about them. I just knew that I made no mistake about who I chose. We ended up talking for about 3 hours. I asked them what they thought about when they found out about having a baby, how they wanted the rest of our pregnancy to go, and how often they would like me to write me. The funniest part of the whole conversation was that their feelings when they came in were the exact same as mine. They were so afraid that I was not going to like them and they told me that they already loved me so much that it would hurt so bad to think that I may not love them back. The whole experience was like a fairy tale. I just knew that I wanted this couple to be the parents of my baby.
