Hey y'all! Yay, there ARE people here!!!
readyfor1- Sure, you can count
I LOVE Raleigh! My parents and I moved here when I was 13, from Maine, and I hated it at first. Too hot, too busy, not anywhere near the ocean, very little snow, etc, not to mention that everyone talked funny (and insulted me by saying that I talked funny!). I didn't like Raleigh up until I left to go to UNC, and then I couldn't wait to get back. DH had also lived in Raleigh and loved it, so as soon as he graduated we came back home, and I don't think we could have made a better choice. I seriously adore this town! So go on ahead and move here, hehe
Abdulina - Wow, 7? That's wonderful! I'm sure you're loving your nice full house
Can I ask, did you adopt the pairs as sibling groups or no? Not that it matters any, just interested in the adoption of more than one at once. We'd wanted to do that ourselves but because of our ages our social worker would only approve us for one child, age 0-2, not a sibling pair age 0-4 like we'd requested. We still plan on adopting multiples later on, though, but I guess we'll see how we feel about that once we know what it's like to have a little guy in the house.
butter7- Welcome to the area! Where did you move from? One of the things I love about this area is that there's a lot of resources and groups for adoption. MANY people in our area have adopted or are adopting, so it's a very pro-adoption area, with tons of support. Have you chosen where you're going to adopt from? Domestic or international I mean
Okay, now that I've written too much, it's off to email the secretary of state's office again about state certification for a notarized power of attorney for our Ethiopian dossier. *sigh* I'm so new to this, it all still seems like so much!
