As of Friday, the 22nd, our birth mom is 40 weeks. She visited with the doctor last week and has entered very early labor.. However, she is only 1 cm dilated (I'm not sure about effacement, but I'm pretty sure its close to 0). Our good adoption worker seems to think that 1 cm dilation could mean that she may not deliver "for weeks." I am hoping that her doctor will be willing to induce her if she doesn't progress in the next week or so. I can't imagine how uncomfortable our birth mom must be. We were so certain that she would be delivering soon. I had informed all of my clients that I would be going on leave and they have opted not to schedule this week. For next week, I have a total of five appointments. Eep!
In other news, I continue to HATE our initial adoption agency. HATE is actually a nice word for the seething rage I possess for them. I won't go into the details because honestly, it makes me angry to think of it or type it. I will say that my HATE morphed into desperation and sadness on Friday, with me sobbing at the kitchen counter, "They just profit off of parents who are desperate and take advantage of them and they don't care! I HATE THEM!" I will say that our HATE and suspicion for agency #1 has prompted an investigation/inquiry by our second (but superior) adoption agency AND our new adoption attorney. Hopefully, this investigation will be quick and we can get things resolved, as we will be meeting Sera any day now.
