CW called today to let us know that edad had sent a text message to cancel the meeting for tomorrow. He said he has to work. She responded and asked him if he wants to reschedule it. She waited a few hours and when she called me, she had not heard back.
He is only 16 and I am sure he is nervous. I wish I could help him understand that we are not going to judge him. I don't know if I could have understood that at 16 myself though. I do hope we get an opportunity to meet him however. I want to be able to share the story about what he was like when we met with him. I want to have his approval for us to parent his child even though we are old enough to be his parents. I don't want him to just sign relinquishments. I feel that if he at least meets us, he is okay with us parenting.
Also, a few of you asked and I must have left out this important detail--- IT'S A GIRL!!!! Love!
I can imagine that at 16 he'd be petrified to have a meeting like that if he didn't have much support....Is the next step if he doesn't agree to a meeting that he relinquishes his rights at/after the birth? I'm sure you'd sooo rather meet him, though....But wow...he is just a baby himself. Amber, what a tough spot. So thankful they have YOU in their lives.
