And now...for the first time on this forum...
It's Brayan--our son-to-be! Although we are still in the throes of paperwork, we have accepted a 9 month old boy as our referral. All in the family are excited--even my dh, Rick!
The paperwork seems a lot faster than last time to assemble--maybe since I know what I'm doing more than last time--but the wait isn't any easier--and I'm just beginning! Carolyn
