I remember exactly where I was standing and what I was doing when I got the phone call that day. I was in my friend and co-worker's office. We were discussing our next PPT. My phone rang and I heard the seven words that would change my life. "We were chosen for a baby girl." The next few days were a blur of busi ness and excitement. Getting her room ready, finding out that she was a beautiful, healthy baby, seeing her picture and thinking she was so perfect, and finally meeting her.
As I walked up the driveway of a stranger's home, my thoughts were completely taken over by emotions. I was going to meet my child. She was five months old and had been raised for these first months of her life by people I didn't even know. I was going to meet her, spend a couple of hours with her, and then leave her. She wouldn't be coming home until the following week. How was I going to meet her and then leave her?
