Talking We Are Approved!!!!

Sorry to shout, but this has been a long time coming (since 03/06). All the paperwork is finally done, all the I's have been dotted and the T's have been crossed! We are finally there. I know, now the real waiting starts, but at least we are not waiting to be waiting and are just waiting....hope that makes more sense than I think it does (sounds good in my head!).

Anyway, I needed to shout it out and I think I have accomplished that. Thanks for listening!!!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

So let me get this straight - Waiting4myfamily is no longer waiting to be waiting, they're just plain old waiting. Wait - did I get that right???

Betcha can't WAIT!

Congrats and best wishes on your journey...it's a great feeling.

From one "Waiting4" to another "Waiting4"

Isn't it exciting to be "officially waiting?" I remember how happy I was to be done with "everything" on our part!

Congrats! I remember being so glad to get to this point, because we had finished doing everything we could do to adopt and begin our family! It was such a relief at that time to be able to leave it all up to God. Not that the wait was easy, but it was definitely a different feeling than when we were so busy with all the paperwork and meetings.

Congrats!! It is such a great feeling to know that you have done "your part"! It's a lot of work so you should feel proud. Good luck to you on the rest of the ride!

Congrats! Welcome to the official "waiting" game. I remember the feeling of being official too. It was so great knowing we were one step closer. Good luck and may your next step come sooner rather than later.
