Our daughter, (that sounds so amazing) is growing and continues to change daily. We celebrated her first birthday, it was such a happy day for us. The memory of our wait for her seems to melt away more and more. I still remember the heart ache of waiting, but now I know why we did and am grateful to have kept with it during the lows.

2007-08-15 I attended my third "informational meeting" on adoption last night. The first two I went with my husband, Tim, but he's out of town this week.   The first meeting we went to was with Massachusetts' foster-to-adopt program. Sad to admit, but our immediate reaction after the meeting ended was There's no way we're going to do this!   It was clear that the state's main goal was (as it should be) to keep children with their family....

Well, this is the beginning of our journey!   We are working on completing our homestudy!  Honestly, this is just as scary as it is exciting.  A child is something I have wanted all my life, and now that we are really doing this...WOW...I don't even know what I am feeling.  Mostly nervousness...what if things happen faster then we anticipated..or much slower?  We are looking forward to reading and hearing from other parents or soon to be parents!

We are so excited we have been told by our agency we will receive our referral sometime in the next month. I find myself trying to guess at her birthday or wondering what she is doing right now. It’s hard to believe she is actually over there just waiting for us to find out about  her Smile
