Meeting birth mom

Yesterday we met our newest potential birth mom. She is just as the case worker said. Dark hair, dark eyes and very sweet. She seemed a little more shy than our last birth mom, Randi. Our overall feel is that she is planning on placing the baby with us but she doesn't know how she'll feel after the baby is born. So she's keeping the door open to change her mind. That is also very different from Randi, who decided she wanted to place Ezra with us and did everything she could to follow through.

Persuading her to have an open adoption isn't going to be as difficult as we thought. She wants communication but again she's leaving the door open to change her mind in case she feels differently after the baby is born. Tawnia, the case worker said she thought the meeting went very well. It was a little hard for us to tell, but overall we thought it went well too.
