I'm a nervous wreck.

My daughter, who's wanted a baby since she was two or three years old, might have her wish come true in the next couple days. Unfortunately, the flip side is a birthmother's loss.

My daughter and her husband have been in the hospital with the baby ever since she was born yesterday morning. The birthmother went home but the papers aren't signed yet . . . .

Hoping that this all works out in the best way for everyone involved, whatever that is. . . .but I don't want my daughter's heart to be broken . . . . She's still MY baby girl.

3. sending good vibes to you and yours

As an adopted child, I knew how much my parents wanted a family. They were lucky enough to get 2.

Hope all works out for your daughter!

6. Your parents WERE lucky, blueamy66. I'm glad you always knew that.

It's just hard to know that someone's happiness is connected to someone else's loss.

I hope you always understood that both your mothers loved you, the one who gave you up so you'd have a better chance, and the one who was lucky enough to be able to raise you.

10. I really don't think too much about my birth mother

My Mom was awesome and I couldn't have asked for a better childhood. I have never wanted to meet my birth mother.

Again, I hope your daughter gets her dream....

8. Thank you TuxedoKat.

I'm trying to be open to whatever is meant to be . . . as difficult as that is because I want my own baby to be happy!

We need some good news these days. I hope this can be it.

9. Oh gosh....good vibes for you and your daughter.

My friend went through something similar earlier this year. Wasn't the birth mother though- it was the birth father and his aunt who wanted the kid. My friend just gave her up rather drag it out-thought it was best for the kid. I hope you and daughter have a better outcome.

11. I can see the father wanted the child and having rights to the child....
