So, we keep getting very sincere responses to our news and I feel the desire to clear something up. Dayn and I are returning to our original dream of how we want to start our family. When we first met, we often talked about adopting a child before having a biological child so that he or she would know that they truly belonged in our family. It turns out that in the last 9 years of our relationship we have let ourselves be carried away by outside energy. I began to long for carrying a baby bump. Girlfriends would tell me how magical the process is. Most of our friends have or are having a baby right now. Our families would talk about how they couldn't wait to meet our child. Neighbors told us how beautiful our child would be, and on and on and on. While all of this is such a beautiful part of life, it is not what we're choosing right now. Through prayer, meditation, and A LOT of talking, we've returned to our center and things have so amazingly fallen into place for us. And so, the journey continues...
We begin parenting classes on March 17th and should be finished by the end of May. We then have 9 hours of a home study by a Social Worker. After fingerprints we should be eligible to recieve a child by June or July.
