Ok, I am back to my normal blogging. I might infuse some poetry or other creative writing here and there. I wanted to be able to share this journey with my friends and family. So here it goes....
Well it has been a year since we started the infertility treatments and almost 4 years of trying to start a family. We are so excited to say that we have decided to begin the adoption process.
I have always known that I would adopt and it feels like such a natural way for us to start our family. It took a little while for Brandon to get on board but after realizing that God has a plan that was different that what he had planned, he is very excited.
We finally finished our mounds of paperwork today!! We sent it all in and they are going to call us next week to start our homestudy portion. That involves four interviews with the last one being at our house to inspect and make sure it is ready for a little one to join us. After we pass that, we are going to be put on the list of potential adoptive parents for expective mothers and fathers to be introduced to us. We will then meet with them if they are interested or not meet with us. It depends on what they want. We are very excited but a little nervous at the same time. There is so much unknown in this process and we could be waiting from a year to two years to be chosen. That sounds like a long time but atleast we know what the final outcome will be. The other scary part is that the birthmother has anywhere from 10-30 days to change her mind and want her baby back! YIKES. We know that God has a plan and we are resting our faith in Him to get us through the process.
So here is to 2010! It is going to be an amazing year and who knows...there could be another Norton running around our house by the end of it all!!
