Let's Do it!

OK, we went back and forth for a while. But those of you who have been through this know that you get worried that the call will never come again. We knew that there was a good chance this birth mother would change her mind again. (In NY the birth mother has 30 days to change her mind.) We knew from our HIV research that this little girl had only a 2% chance of developing the virus if her medication was administered correctly for 5 weeks. We decided that we would say yes to the adoption. In the worst case scenario we would be able to give her a healthy start to life. That was going to be enough. We called the social worker back and made arrangements for our Kate to come home!
