Hey Colleen~Yeah you're right--I keep forgetting about being censored now regarding information on different agencies. We have to remember to PM each other if we have ANY info on the agencies that we are looking into. We really have to pull together and help each other--we are, after all, working towards the same goal here. With Robert gone, I am going to have the chance to get the beginning fees all saved up. I have already done my Dear Birthmother letter and am now working on my fire escape plan and layout of my house. I am also going to begin to work on my file folder box and start gathering all the important documents. Right before he gets home I will go ahead and call CC and see if their list has opened up and then get the info sent from them. Good Luck to you as well!

Hiya Marisa~Hubby will be gone for 60-90 days. Not too sure yet, but it will be for at LEAST 60 days which isn't too too bad. It will give me time to research some more and get started saving some money so we won't have to borrow that much from an adoption loan. This is going to be our first child, so we are looking to adopt a newborn infant. I have also looked into the agency you spoke of and I think I had said before-- a little steep for us Hope everything works out for you and keep us posted.
