Coincidence

After I dropped off our profile book to the doctors office and didn't hear anything I thought that it was over. I thought we had lost you. I continued to talk to my friend Sara for any kind of updates and reassurance, but conversation after conversation I was getting more and more frustrated. Sara would tell me how the doctor didn't want to get involved and how she had a family member that wanted you. The only good news that came from our conversations was that I did know that the doctor gave your birth mom our profile book. That gave us hope!
It seemed like ages went by and I remember going home on a Friday from work and when I got out to my car I had a message from our doctor (Dr. L****) wanting to know our attorney's name. First of all, why was this doctor calling me and second of all, OUR ATTORNEY? We needed an attorney fast, and by the time I got home from work (a 7 minute drive) I had called Kim to try and get the number to Mary, our soon to be attorney. I was given her name months before from Candace, who had adopted through her and I had contacted her briefly at that time. Our conversation was short and to the point. Mary told me then that when I had a baby in mind to adopt, that is when I should contact her. Well... now was the time... I had a baby in mind. I called her immediately and left a message that went something like this, "Mary, this is Jennifer, I talked to you awhile back about adopting and now we have a potential adoption situation. I received a call today from my doctor wanting your contact information, could you call me as soon as possible?" My mind was spinning... what was going on? Why was this other doctor calling me? Was it about you, and if it was, how did she know about you? And Lord... please let Mary call me back....!
Ok... long long long story shortened... Dr. L**** (my doctor) was calling about another baby she knew of for adoption (not you!) and Mary finally called me back Saturday morning (more on that call later!). Was it a coincidence that Dr. L**** called me and kick started us into getting an attorney? I don't think so. I think it was part of His plan. He knew what he was doing that day and he was setting everything up for us to meet.
