So I'm back and I've got some news ;)

Hub and I first met with our agency in Feb 2008 and then met with several others before making our decision of which to work with. Applications in July of 2008, homestudy in th fall and over the holidays...then approved and officially waiting as of late Feb 2009.
Well !! We got a call in August, were matched 2 days later and our son was home with us within 10 days!!

He's 100% amazing. We're over the moon and feel so blessed.

Our adoption is open, even in the fast pace of this particular placement we were all able to set the foundation for a life long relationship for our son.
