One Year Ago, part 3

One year ago, yesterday, I was at work and got a call from our adoption agency.

We had meet the birth parents on March 1st and had a wonderfully long visit with them. We liked them and felt surprisingly comfortable.

But 10 days had passed with no word. We knew there were two other families who had been interviewed also, so we figured our chances were 33%.

Our case worker said we should come down for a second interview. Oh? The other couples were not coming back for a second interview, but the birth parents would like to see us again. Really? They wanted to meet some place more casual then the adoption agency. How does lunch sound? They were going to bring their aunt too. O.K.

I left work after getting permission from my boss, of course, and we hit the road within 45 minutes.

We scheduled our "second interview" for a lunch at Red Robin on March 12 @ 2pm.
