Am I crazy to want to get the registry over with? It's a little something for me to enjoy - dreaming about what may come, what I may need. But she wants me to wait until we have placement details. From what I have heard about older child adoption in my area - It's very quickly after homestudy if they find a good match. so i won't neccessarily have time later to Meander through the store.
Did anyone else go through this?

I would wait for placement details, (boy, girl age). You want to be sure that you register for the things that you may need and things that the child will like. I had a room already and had a five year old placed with us, she HATED the room color. She was not a typical girl. When the courts overturned her parents TPR she went back home. We then waited until placement to register.
