Twists and turns

We have news exciting enough to start this blog back up again.  WE ARE ADOPTING! Now I know at this point I am writing this to myself, but my mind is so crazy right now that I need somewhere to put my thoughts down.

K and I decided to start this journey in January and since then we have completed all our training, gone through our home-study, and are now in the waiting process.

Going through the foster care system for adopting is an interesting process.  We did hire a private company (www.afamilyforeverychild.org) to complete the home study and to have a caseworker dedicated to our family.

At this point in our journey we are playing the waiting game.  There are TONS (I mean like a crazy number of tons) of websites that have kids on them.  We have to find a kid (or siblings) that we feel would be a good match for our family, send in an inquiry on them, and then wait to hear back...or not hear back.  We've sent in applications on so many kids  I think I've lost count.

I will try my hardest to keep this updated through our process and the eventual expansion of our family!
