Hey Ladies~
I too am glad that things are moving along for you Marisa. Colleen and I WILL be fishing for information from you since you are already in the process with AA (your agency). Like Colleen, I am either going to go with CC or with NH--we will see. I really cannot do much since Robert will be leaving for Iraq in 2 weeks. I will just keep on doing what I am doing--thumbing through packets upon packets of information.
Hey Colleen~
Who knows? You may be starting the process before I do. We are looking to start with paperwork and picking a place to adopt through around August. Robert's TDY turned out to be 90 days, so I have three months to wait for anything to start up. I guess there is one good thing about his duty being so long--I can call CC and get on their waiting to adopt list as soon as it opens up. You have to keep me posted though because I am going to use the info you give me and how easy or hard your process is to help me decide if I should go with an agency or a facilitator. I already have a facilitator in mind as well.

I have your e-mail address and I sent you an e-mail so you should have mine. If you don't PM me and I will give it to you ok? Take Care!
Talk to ya later~
Monica
