Whirlwind!

We got called this morning. Tomorrow we will bring home our baby girl, after 20 months of waiting! The termination of parental rights hearing has already taken place so she's ours!

Oh yes I second going to bed early, you have a LONG EMOTIONAL day ahead of you and will need your rest (believe me I didn't and I was paying for it). Oh and eat a good meal before hand. Yikes, nothing like nerves, excitement, no sleep and no food on ya (which was us).

OOooooo I'm so excited!! This is so fun!!

Congratulations!

The adoption of our youngest (he'll be 18 in May!) was a whirlwind adoption and it was exciting and wonderful! He was born on Mother's Day, (Sunday, of course) but we didn't know his birthmother had picked our profile the day before. Our lawyer had been gonna tell us that on Monday morning - instead he called us to tell us we had a baby boy!

Enjoy all the excitement and I doubt you'll get much sleep, lol.
