Smile Introduction

Hi Everyone,

I found this board yesterday and I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Joanne and dh is Rob. We have 2 bio sons and are adopting a daughter from Korea. Our homestudy is being sent off today to SWS. I have heard nothing but positive things about SWS so I am excited (and a little nervous) to be adopting through them. I have already learned a lot by reading your threads and I look forward to sharing our journey with you all ..

Regards,
Joanne

Hi! I am relatively new myself. My DH and I are in the middle of the homestudy right now. We received our acceptance from our placement agency this past weekend. Yahoo!

It is nice to meet you!
