I don't know why I thought we would have already been called and told that one of the two girls would want us to be the parents for their child. I just imagined it to be too difficult to pass us up. Boy I'm concieted! Yesterday I took out the copy of our profile and looked at it as thought I didn't know us - like I was a mother ready to have their child in March. .....We looked ridiculous. I left things out!!!! It doesn't say we like to sing or sing together.....It does say T likes to write music - big deal - the idiots on American Idol who cannot sing on key all write music too.....ARG. It doesn't show our love, our compasion, our sense of humor.....that people like us, especially children. How do you show that in 9 pages? We are not writers, we are not adcertising agents (although i did go to school for that for a while). We needed to hire someone to put together our profile!!!
Why not us? What's wrong with us? How could you look at our profile and not think we are the best? Those other profiles were boring, the people not attractive (here I go being concieted again).....why not us???? We are unique, we are happy together, we like different things. Is it because we don't hunt? Don't like to camp or swim in lakes? Did we mention that even??? Do you not like taht I won't be at home?? How many women can do that? We are poor if i don't work - you want that???? ARGGGGGGGGGG.......why hasn't anyone called and told us they want us???????

Take a breath---it does take awhile, you know? Did your agency give you an average wait time?
Don't second guess your profile, or think you have to have all the "right answers". The "right answers" will vary from case to case.
In our case, our birthfamily liked that we did a lot w/ our extended family, that we were technologically hip, and a little sily.
In our friends' case, what sealed the deal was that they live on a horse farm.
Obviously, two birthfamiles looking for VERY different things!
Remember that not every family will be right for every potential birth mom and vice versa. I know it can be discouraging not getting chosen, but it doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with you. It simply means that this was not the right situation or the right time. Your time will definitely come and you will look back on this day and understand why things didn't work before. It will all make sense. Hang in there!
