As you can imagine, it has been an astounding 5 days. We got Peter, of course. And we met his birthmother, which Sandy said was about as emotionally wrenching (intensely exhilirating and draining at the same time) as anything she's experienced. I agree, though I'm not sure I can say why. And we started a new phase our life together. All in Atlanta, a place I didn't ever imagine visiting. (Let's not even talk about Auburn.)
Besides Peter's birthmother, we met several other remarkable people.
The woman with Sandy cared for Peter the 10 days of the waiting period. She is funny, kind, loving, and immensely generous. (She does this routinely for the agency in Georgia.)
The woman in white is the agency caseworker. She works with birthmothers and adopting families, and she obviously attends to the birthmothers very well.
We, of course, think Peter is the most remarkable of all. (I think the ladies all agree.)
