Our first appointment with our adoption agency is March 31st. Due to my hubby's work schedule and the director's schedule that is the earliest we can get in.
It is time to share the news of our adoption plan with our family and friends! We told my hubby's parents tonight and I told my brother and sister-in-law today. My MIL told my hubby's brother. Everyone is thrilled! I plan on telling my mom tomorrow if she has time to talk to me. I will send a group e-mail to our dozens of aunts, uncles and first cousins. There are way too many to call individually. I am sure my MIL will beat me to it announcing to her siblings but I can't blame her. She's so excited for us! She knows how much we've wanted to be parents and how long we have waited.
It has been a long wait. I am so ready to bring a little one home. I am starting tomorrow on the bedroom. Since our house is over 80 years old and has the original lathe and plaster as very little insulation we are going to gut our child's bedroom to insulate and drywall. I plan on clearing everything out of the bedroom to get ready to knock some walls out next week. It is supposed to get cold here again and I am not too thrilled with that room being down to the studs but I really need to get a jump on this. I want to be ready as soon as our home evaluation is done. I want that room to be kid-ready ASAP! When God drops a child in front of us I want to be ready to swoop them up!
Long overdue final update (such a good one)!

Oh, I am so very happy for you! I have been thinking a lot about you guys this week (and praying for you too). Isn't that great that you shared the news with your family on the feast of St. Joseph, who is the greatest adoptive father in history! I don't think that is a small coincidence! I am holding you close in prayer and I look forward to the great things to come. God Bless!
I am so excited for you! I havn't been on the blogs in a while... It's an amazing journey that God puts us on isn't it? Joy is right, no small coincidence in this happening on St. Josephs feast day! Keeping you in our prayers. :)
Good luck on starting this new journey of adoption! It is exciting. My dh and I will most likely look at a different agencies in our area when I'm done with my schooling. THis way..we can say "yes" when the call comes. Cath Char in our area is just not advocating for adoption...I can't explain that one.
Our families were all very supportive of our decision to adopt too. God Bless.
