    Some of you may remember that I mentioned my interest in adoption.

    I've got the ball rolling and I'm jumping through hoops to get everything squared away. I've been told that once I finish the paperwork and classes, it could take anywhere from a few weeks to a few years (yikes!) to get a child fitting the profile I've requested (hispanic boy or girl under 5 years of age).

    Keep me in your thoughts! This is an unnerving process, but I'm a tough cookie!

    Good luck! I am sure that will be one lucky kid, and your life will be blessed in so many ways.

    I'm sure it must be crazy to be one step closer to having a kid of your own :) Does it feel real to you yet?

    Congratulations! :hugs:

    Wonderful news!!!! I'm not sure if I want children, but if I do I've always thought adoption would be the best way to go. Congratulations and I hope you get to bring your baby home soon :)

    That's fantastic! Adoption is on the table for our second or third. We're definitely looking at being a foster family when our kids are older and out of the house.

    Please keep us updated! ;)
