Post meeting

Well, we are back from the meeting and I must say, it went super amazingly well. We got there early (of course right?), and we sat in the lobby waiting. You have to sign in and we were right next to the sign in desk so we decided to move across the room. We were able to see T, when she waled in. She is a tiny brunette, barely 18 years old, with a wealth of life across her face. As she walked in, we said hello (as we did with everyone walking through the doors), she said hi, kept walking then turned around with a grin, pointed and said "I know you from your picture". She sat down and we made small talk and invited her to have her mother sit in on the "meeting" before she actually signed in and the pregnancy worker was notified. The PW came and got T, and then a few minutes later we were shown the way. We sat down in the room and tried to be at ease, but we were nervous and excited. We presented our snacks, which went over quite well, and we proceeded to just chat. Joe and I shared about who we are, the kids and just basic stuff. It was like we were all old friends just catching up. We laughed and giggled. T asked a few questions, are we smokers, why did we choose adoption, how do the kids do in school, do we have a name picked out...her mom wanted to know our testimonies. We talked about tv, cooking, pranks and just random everyday things. Our meeting was cut short since the PW had another appointment. Joe and I stopped in to talk to our caseworker, she was excited and happy for us, but reminded us that T is on the fence. T stayed behind to speak with the PW and her mom went out to smoke. As Joe and I left, we had to walk past her, so we exchanged pleasantries, she wanted to talk though, so we obliged. She wanted to know our take on salvation in regards to falling off the path and what we meant by open adoption (she really wants to be involved). We were just us, honest and straight. We continued to chat for a bit before T came out and we all just stood around talking. We spent about 30 minutes in the parking lot, nobody seemed to want to end the meeting, but eventually we parted ways.
Joe and I drove home, afraid to be excited, but bursting inside with hope. It seemed to have gone so perfectly. Time will tell. Now we just wait for a call from the PW to see if T would like to meet again, trade contact info, move forward......it's going to be a LONG night.
