Last thursday I was on my way home from my volunteer gig at the Humane Society. I checked my iphone email and saw i had an email from a potential BM (birth mother). She had contacted us directly after a brief talk with our agency. When we heard her story - which she told us very openly via email - our first reaction was to rescue her. Her story was heart breaking but also included some things we had decided against initially. The more the thought and discussed we kept coming back tot he same conclusion she was just not the right fit for us. With an open adoption we know we are inviting this person into our family and this was a situation we just weren't comfortable.
This first contact let us have a glimpse at what we as a couple need to go through to make a very grown-up decision.
