I can'tspeak from experience but I think asking her some questions about her instead of just about the pregnancy and baby is a great idea.Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436636731066211849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190144653162636685.post-51656008128931996822011-07-18T23:40:19.503-05:002011-07-18T23:40:19.503-05:00Congrats!!!
As this is your first contact with her...Congrats!!!<br />As this is your first contact with her I would go easy on lots of big questions - except to answer hers - and like a PP said - be really interested in her. Find out about her. Show her you want to get to know her. <br />Good luck!!tireegal68https://www.blogger.com/profile/13943003575298698264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190144653162636685.post-31849617571607782082011-07-18T22:40:54.200-05:002011-07-18T22:40:54.200-05:00OMG Missy!

I don't have much advice, but from what I have read people often suggest to spend time getting to know HER and less about the baby/ pregnancy since those can be the only things that end up being talked about. Keep us posted and I hope this is your match!<br /><br />makingmemom.blogspot.comHillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01315741098772456270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190144653162636685.post-4357938157323155862011-07-18T19:45:40.301-05:002011-07-18T19:45:40.301-05:00I'm so excited for you Missy!

So exciting!
regarding the delivery room... ...Wow! So exciting!<br /><br />regarding the delivery room... I told our dd's bm that I would love to be in the room when she is born, but that it wasn't a deal breaker for me. I let her know that it is a very emotional and personal time {aka. you are practically naked} and I'd be okay with whatever she wanted.<br /><br />regarding openness... this is where you have to think long and hard and lay it all out. I told dd's bm that I wanted a really open adoption. I wanted to call her if anything came up and I needed let's say medical records. I was clear that I wanted once a year visits and that she too was free to contact me for updates and photos... but that I would close things a bit if I thought that she wasn't healthy for dd. <br /><br />At 18 months we haven't seen her since dd was almost 2 months old {she moved away}. There was a long period when I didn't hear from her. We now talk 1-2 times a month. I truly care about her and miss her when I don't hear from her {and I worry}!<br /><br />Feel free to email me if you have more questions. <br /><br />I know tomorrow will go great. I hope you both are a great match... <br /><br />PS. I totally felt like I was going on a blind date when we met our bm, lol!Heather @ It's A Lovely Life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05121802982763204233noreply@blogger.com
