Family facebook Adoption

Thought I would share my story with everyone. Feel free to comment/share your opinions, questions and concerns as my wife and I are new to both adoption and parenting. My wife and I quite possibly could be the only people to adopt vie facebook. Some background first, my wife and have been married for 15 years, both 35 and we dont have any children and we were letting nature take its course, meaning if we got pregnant, great but we were not seriously trying to have one. Our next step was to talk to a fertility doctor, but that was a ways away. We live in Virginia and most of our family is either on the west coast or the Midwest. Now to our story, back in late November 2011, my wife gets a message from her cousin asking us how we felt about adoption. My wife and her cousin are not close and only starting talking to each other vie facebook. My wife messages her back and tells her our story and asks her why. One of her daughters is pregnant, due in late March, with her third child. Her other two kids are 4 and 16 months, she is a single parent that does not work and the father, same to all three, does not work as well. Both of them are in their early twenties. My wifeҒs cousin says she is going to give the baby up for adoption, and they are looking towards family for help first. My wife and her cousin finally get on the phone and talk and we agreed to look in to the process and see what all is evolved. After talking about it we decide to move forward, by now its mid December and the baby is due in March so we have about 3 months to prepare to include home inspection all the baby stuff we are going to need. Somehow we managed to get everything we need and the three home inspections within two months, thanks to some great friends and family support. March comes around and she starts to have minor contraction and her doctor says she is right on schedule for her due date of March 27 but my wife and I want to make sure we are there for the birth, which will be in Wisconsin, so we head up a week early. We get there the 18, got an apartment thanks to the cousin, we take the birth mother to her weekly checkup on the 19, everything looks on schedule. So my wife and are thinking we got a week to spend with each other before our world changes, well we thought we had a week. We get a call first think the next morning that she was checking in to the hospital, three hours later we had a baby boy. Bare with me my story is almost over. Before the birth the father was a little hesitant, but the mother was not, and after the father meet us he as realized it was the best thing for the baby. We let them and all their family spend as much time with his as possible while we waited for the interstate agreement to be completed, about 5 days. Once we were cleared we headed home, yes we drove all the way from Wisconsin to Virginia nonstop 18 hours. James is now four months old hes 19lbs 9oz and 26in and doing great. We stay in contact with the birth parents and even made day visit in May, on our way back from Nebraska visiting my family and yes nonstop on that trip as well 24 hours. Even though Wisconsin does not have an open adoption we decided to make it one and the birth parents understand that its open but thru us. We have yet to finalize since he has to be 6 months old before we can, Virginia law, but the birth parents have terminated their parental control. Please feel free to ask me any questions or state your concerns as it might help me or other in the future. Thank you for reading my long story.
