Meeting

The next few days went by and I was waiting for a phone call. I even asked my principal and teachers for permission to keep my phone on so that if I got a call from my case worker or the couple, I'd be able to answer. Now a side note my principal was adopted as an infant, and two of my favorite teachers (Mr. K and Mrs. S) were both an amazing support to me through out this experience. One day my phone was buzzing so I jumped up from my class and ran into the office so I could use my phone. It was my case worker, she was wondering if I wanted to have a face to face meeting with the couple. My heart was pounding so hard. I told her I did thinking that I had a couple of days, but then she asked if the day after tomorrow would be fine, since she knew I'd be over there anyway.
"Ya, that's fine." I said and then I thanked her and hung up. I quickly used the school phone (cell phone service is terrible at that high school) to call my mom. I was exstatic but also scared to death.
What were they going to think of me? I'm huge, it's going to be so hard to make myself look decent. Oh wow, this is really happening.
The next day flew by and before I knew it, I was in the car driving towards where we were going to meet. All the time my head was spinning, but I couldn't stop chattering. I'm sure my mom was ready to tell me to shut up. (I'm sure every time her and I are together she wants to tell me to shut up. Sorry, mom you are one of the few friends I have so I love talking to you.)
We got there and it was a beautiful day. I walked inside, although I don't know how, my legs were shaking so bad. I found my way down the hall to the room that I had become so familiar with because I had been going to group meetings there. We opened the door and went and sat on the couch. Now I don't remember if they were already there or if they came in after us. (someone correct me...;) )We hugged and it almost felt like we knew each other from some where already. My mom and I even swore that we had seen him some where before, and even a close family friend said that he looked really familiar to her. I guess we'll neverknow. Anyway, when we finally met, I was so over come with emotion, but I have a hard time crying in front of people, so I just started to stumble with my words. They had the cutest little gift basket for me. All I had were ultrasound pictures for them. If I remember right, they hadn't even received the announcement or letter I had sent them yet.
We talked about how open our adoption would be, names slightly, and exchanged email addresses and phone numbers. It was the funnest and one of the happiest moments surprisingly of my senior year. After we left my mom and I went and got lunch. I was overly anxious still. I couldn't stop shaking or chattering.
This is it. You can't back at now. No matter how hard it gets, you can do this. These are the people. Please don't back out. Prove people wrong. Don't back out.
