Hello all!

Well, we sold the RV last Thursday evening so we are all clear to begin. I would have posted sooner but we went to Oxford, Alabama Thursday for a Cystic Fibrosis walk-a-thon (DH's cousin's son has it, our group raised $30,000, it went great!). Going to secure financing in the next couple of weeks and we will be sending in the agency applicaton form the first week of June. Thank you to all who have given so much encourgement while we were waiting to get to this point. Can't wait to get started, we are sooooooo happy and anxious!!!

I am so happy for you Amber! Welcome to a journey of a lifetime!!! I hope that all goes well for you and you soon have your precious child home!

WOO HOOOOOO! Take a deep breath 'cause the roller coaster is a doozy! An addictive doozy in our family since we are just starting on our 3rd international adoption (4th child). Enjoy the ride and take lots of notes 'cause it's all a big blur looking back.........

Congrats on the sell! I know the feeling. We had a mobile home that we wanted to sell before starting the journey and we sold it very fast to our surprise. We were a little dumbfounded when we had the check in our hands...my husband just looked at me and said "I guess it's really time to start the family" with a huge grin on his face and of course I started crying. That was December and we started in January.

Good Luck on your journey, I look forward to seeing your updates!

Hi
Did you put an ad in the paper or do E-bay? We are trying to sell our sailboat to help pay for things and don't know the best way to do it!
Glad you are starting soon...

CSW- My huband owns a shop on Main St so we just parked it there. We got about 30 calls all week and my husband said about 5-6 people would stop and talk to him a day. Do you know someone on a well traveled street that will let you park it? We were going to list it in the paper today but never needed too thanks to the sell. Whatever you do will probably work, just do it soon, this is the season for sells. Also, you could try consignment at a boat shop if you are just really trying to sell it (not as much profit). We were going to do this if it didn't sell within a couple of months and they RV place even offered to finance for the new buyers. Good Luck!

Congratulations! I know you didn't think you'd get to start this soon. Maybe this is a sign that you'll get through the process quickly too!

That's so cool! Your subject line gave me goose bumps. I hope it all goes well as you begin!
