Waiting for our baby...

Finally...we're matched

I kind of did a pseudo-announcement on a thread I had started over the weekend about dh not wanting to talk adoption...but then I realized I was the last to post and the thread is way back on page 2. The day we were matched, dh called me at least 3 times during the day to see if I had heard anything else.

Anyway, I received the call on Monday that we were matched with an emom due in January! I'm still kind of in shock...it doesn't seem real. Hope this all works out for us. Just wanted to share my news.

For those of you still waiting to be matched and thinking that it won't happen...hang in there, it will.
