So after nine months of paperwork and talking about it, it finally happened! We got picked!!! So here's the deal. The birthmother is from Akron, Ohio. She's an African American nurse who also has an MBA. Nice huh. She has two adult kids, and just decided that she didn't want to/couldn't raise another child. This is where the wife and I step in.
Her due date is February 1st, so it's all happening really really really fast. Essentially what happens is that when she gives birth, we go to Akron and hang out for three weeks (hopefully less time than that, but that's worst case) while Maine and Ohio complete all the necessary paperwork. So anyone out there know of anything fun and exciting to do in Akron? It's only 30 minutes to Cleveland though, so maybe I'll drag the wife to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Would it be wrong to bring a new born there? I think it might be... we'll just avoid all the loud rock and all, how's that?
Anyway, as you can imagine, we're incredibly excited, beyond excited really... so now we wait. We need to finish up a couple of loose ends that Ohio requires, then we're good to go.. so yeah, I'm going to be a dad in like three weeks... holy crap hahahha

Congrats, Jason and Sarah! You both are going to be great parents.
And I have been to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame... and it is very entertaining. I think a newborn would LOVE it. ;)
Good luck!!!!!! Jeanne
