Hi, I'm sort of in the same situation as you are. Starting classes in Jan and house not being ready until late Feb/March. I live with my mother instead of a husband, so I'm single. We currently live in a 2 bedroom house, so I am buying a 3 bedroom. My mother is disabled so we have to convert the master suite into a more wheelchair accessible room, but that will only take a month or two.
I'm hoping to adopt one or two boys (sibling group) between 4-9/10 yrs old. Boys are so hard to place and I would feel more comfortable with boys. My cousins and stepsister all have boys between 2 - 12 yrs so my boys would fit in with the lot.
With the holidays coming up, I'm hoping next year I will have two kids in the house looking forward to them opening presents and such.
Are you and your husband thinking about what the holidays might hold for you in the future?
