We had our phone call with the birth parents this afternoon. Dan and I were on speaker at his work, while the birth parents were on one line and their caseworker on another. It was a bit awkward, as there were pauses where none of the five of us were speaking. We felt that we didn't have many questions for them at this point because what we want to know wouldn't matter till/if they choose us. So, we answered their questions (the father did most of the talking) to the best of our ability. I can say this for the young man, he didn't give anything away in response to our answers. Totally calm and cool, no indication of whether it was being well-received or not. Let me tell you, it is tough to have a phone call with someone you've never met. You can't see their face to know what they're thinking, and this is a rather important topic that we were discussing!!
Later, (about 15 minutes) we received an email from our caseworker. Their caseworker had wanted to pass along the info that she thought we had "done a good job" in the conversation. Good adoptive parents, good!!:) We hope for the decision soon. We pray for peace with the outcome.
