I've been on pins and needles all morning- heightened by the dreary rainstorm. The phone rang and I froze as our agency's name appeared on the caller id. This could be very good....or very, very bad. Right away, our social worker cleared that up!
TPR WAS SIGNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been praying and praying that Abigail's birth parents would have such a peace about their decision. I wonder if they're conscious of what happened today. I know they were both notified, but I wonder if it was weighing on them, as it was me. Once again I have such mixed emotions- rejoicing for our family, while grieving their loss.
But suddenly this dreary day seems to fit perfectly. Tears for the loss and fears while at the same time creating new life. Hope for our daughter. Hope for a forever family. We're almost there! Thank you for your prayers! Today is a day for rejoicing!!!
NOTE: I'm double checking to make sure I can post pictures now. I've got a post and a new header ready to go!

Lauren, I'm thrilled for you. You must feel so relieved. I've only read about how stressful the path to parenting an adopted soul is until the TPR is signed. I'm so excited you and your husband can get on with the business of loving and bonding with Abagail. All the best!!
