Serendipity: Act 2

An old girlfriend from high school, who is aware of my plight with IVF, wrote to me on FB today and said that she knows of a 15 year old girl, near to where she lives in "The OC", who is pregnant and has decided to give the baby up.

And....would I be interested in adopting it?

*shock*

I don't know. I really don't. But I am not closing my mind off entirely to this possibility despite my personal feelings on adoption (which stem from my issues with being adopted myself).

I know nothing about this girl, how far along she is, the sex of the baby, or whether the decision is truly hers (or her parents'). I also do not know if the boy/father has consented as well to allowing his child to be adopted out.

At any rate, my friend suggested I forward her all of my questions and that she'd set about getting answers for me.

And so I did.

It's a small step. Just an investigation that might go nowhere. The girl could have already changed her mind.

I have no idea if I am really open to this, but I like to try to keep myself, my path, open to "possibilities" ... not destroy them.

I once thought that if the universe saw fit to put an adoptable child directly in my path that I would take it as a sign that I should pay attention to.

It sort of feels as though this has happened.

*deep breath*
