Today was the day.  Spencer was nervous, and she honestly didn’t know why.  Oh, yeah.  She was adopting a child.  Today she’d bring home the little boy that she’d been thinking about since she signed the papers.  His room was ready.  She couldn’t be more excited to have a little boy, her son, in this house.  She paced the floors waiting for the phone call.  He was supposed to be born today.  Spencer agreed to let his birth mother have a few ours with the baby.  Then, tomorrow after he’d been fully examed by the doctors, he’d be her baby.  She was afraid.  "What if the mother decides to keep him?"  That was all that Spencer could think of.  No, she can’t.  She already signed the paper.  Man, this must be hard for her.  I wonder why she isn’t keeping him.  Her mind was running a mile a minute, and she had to calm down.  So, she went into his room to go over everything to make sure it was perfect.

Spencer Carlin had made the decision to adopt a child three years ago.  That is how long she’d been waiting.  She wanted a newborn baby, and everyone else did also.  So, Spencer had to wait.  She was finally given the opportunity to adopt this child, and she didn’t even think about turning it down.

Spencer was born and raised in Ohio.  Her family moved to California when she was sixteen for her mother to take a job.  Spencer had two brothers, Glen and Clay.  Clay had passed away a few years ago in a school shooting.  Clay was another reason she wanted to adopt a child.  The Carlins gave Clay a life that he would have never had if he would have stayed with his birth mother, and she wanted to do that for someone else.  Clay should have never died, but she couldn’t get to caught up in thinking about that right now.  Her mom, Paula, and her father, Arthur, were amazing people.  Spencer had come out as a lesbian when she was seventeen years old.  Paula questioned it at first, but she accepts it now.  Spencer was twenty now.  She hadn’t had a girlfriend in years.  Spencer was looking for someone to sweep her off her feet.  She was looking for that story book romance.  Spencer worked as a secretary to the president of Virgin Records.  They had a day care right beside her office.  So, her son would not be left alone, and he wouldn’t be far from her.  This was going to be perfect.
