Congratulations on your decision!! We're in TN too. This process is a lot of hard work, but it's so worth it. We are so in love with our little angel and we have never even met her.

Thank you all

Thank you all so much. I already stressed and we haven't even chosen an agency yet. I would like to get some input on affordable ways to adopt. And do you think anything is going to come from the Hague?
