My wife gets on me for not doing anything. She spends time on the net researching or going in the forums, more things like thatg. So, I'd thought I'd check it out. Pretty interesting all of this. Not sure what else to say. Has anyone become adoptive parents yet?

Welcome FF. Another adoptive dad here and a relatively active poster on many of the fora (forums??) on the site. As you can see by my "signature" below we've had quite a journey. Our DD is now 3 1/2 months old, we've cleared most of the major hurdles, and now we're waiting out the next 6 to 9 months for finalization. Feel free to PM me or just do an open post here if you're looking for some insight from our experiences in a failed and then very successful placement.

Keep the faith and good luck on your journey to November.
