Just wanted to say "thank you!"

I have lurked on this forum for a LONG time. I'm not sure if I'm contributed much here - except maybe to say how adorable a baby is!

But I wanted to just tell you all "thank you" from the bottom of my heart. My dh and I are currently working on getting signed on with 2 agencies. For both agencies, we are enrolling in the programs where the situations will be for babies who are AA, biracial, or any multiracial situations. (Okay, someone stop me if that wasn't a correct choice of words!)

Prior to this, my dh and I have tried to learn all we can about transracial adoption. This has always been something I've been drawn to in my heart, although I can't put into words why. We read "Inside Transracial Adoption" and took an online course. However, the MOST helpful research was on THIS forum! Reading your read-world stories and advice has helped us so much. We don't feel like we're going into this blindly or too naively.

Thank you for sharing your joys, sad times, family issues, stressful times, and everything inbetween. You have all taught my dh and I so much!! I look forward to participating in this forum more in the future.
