Adoption.

Today we officially began the adoption process. We finally met our case worker and had our initial interview. We still have a million things to do before we get approved, but I don't care, I'm so excited! This is definitely a big day and a big step for us. It's crazy to think how far I've come in the last year and a half. Being told I couldn't have any more children completely blew me out of the water. I deeply mourned my loss and at times questioned how in the world I would ever feel happy again. The thought of adoption seemed so distant to me as I was in too much emotional pain at the time. Fast-forward 16 months and here I am, completely happy and ecstatic to start this adoption journey and to finally meet the next member of our family. I'm a true believer in time and prayer and the healing effect that can have on a person. I can't tell you how excited I am to begin this process! This is going to be an incredible journey for our family and I'm so excited to see the final result. So I guess right now I'm shamelessly trying to get the word out to whoever will listen. Please remember us and our situation. You never know who you might come across.. You might be at work or the grocery store or at the bank and hear talk of someone thinking of placing their baby and that's when you speak up and say, "I know an amazing family! Let me tell you all about them." (Yep, that would be us I'm talking about)

I might sound a little desperate right now, but whatever...I just know that with adoption cases, sometimes it's the person you least expect that somehow connects you to your baby. So keep us in mind, and if we aren't a good fit, I know about four other amazing couples that are in the same boat as us that I would be thrilled to connect you to :)
