The Waiting Game

I never expected to do so much waiting.  It is difficult to get clear answers to my many questions because each question can have multiple outcomes.  The waiting is driving me crazy!

On the bright side, we have a 90% chance of being the baby's forever family and I am so excited!  On the flip side, there is still a 10% chance that he won't be ours, so I am trying really hard to stay grounded.  I don't think I can stand the heartache if they take him away.  In our minds, and hearts, he is already ours.  He belongs with us, and there is no doubt in my mind that this is my child.

A  few weeks ago I received an email from his mom stating that she wanted to sign him over to us.  She knew in her heart that she cannot take care of him and that she knew he was where he belongs, and she was going to contact her attorney to proceed.  That was three weeks ago, and I have yet to hear anything.  It looks like we will have to wait until court at the end of the month to find out what is going on.  It is so frustrating and my nerves are shot.  I really want to have him stay and be ours, but I can't fully let myself go there yet.
