Well, this is it. Tomorrow the fate of Andy will be decided. Either we will be selected to become his family, or another family will be chosen. I must accept that the people who will make this decision are experienced in this process and will put Andy's best interests first. If we are not chosen, I hope that I may gracefully accept the news and trust that our child will come to us when the time and circumstances are right. I ask of you, my friends, family, and blog followers, that you support me by allowing me to have whatever feelings I have, and by respecting the outcome of tomorrow's meeting. If we are chosen, let's all rejoice together! If we are not chosen, I know that many of you will be disappointed along with me... maybe outraged that such a spectacular family as the deLathrops would be denied a child :) but it doesn't make this situation easier for me if I have to defend the process to others. The process is what it is. I did not create it and I might do it differently if it were up to me to decide, but it's not. We have chosen this path, and we will follow it to its end. I am asking the universe to give me a child... and I thank each of you for your love and support. Check in tomorrow at this time.
PS- DOTmom, please identify yourself! I have been trying to figure out who you are for months and the curiosity is killing me! Joanne...?

Roger and I totally support you and Dave to whatever feelings you may have. This is a difficult process and only you and Dave have the right to feel what you feel. We certainly hope for the best possible outcome for you both!
