Two Months DTE

We are celebrating month two of being DTE by moving down on the unofficial waiting list. We're still patiently waiting, knowing that more families ahead of us just means that there are more kiddos getting placed with their forever families. The number is fun to watch but seems really neither here nor there. One mysterious day, we'll get a phone call... till then, we're just along for the ride :)

Actually, in the meantime, we are working and saving and planning and doing all that we can to be ready. Well, as ready as you can be for your once normal life to be completely turned upside down by another human being. We applied a few months ago to AdoptTogether, an organization started by an adoptive family to help other adoptive families through the journey of adoption. They've been great at providing support and cheering us on as we worked to finish our home study and dossier. The other thing they do is provide a way for people to make tax-deductible donations to support our adoption... well really, anyone's adoption who's part of the AdoptTogether network... so if you go to their website, you can actually shop for families to support if you're in the end of year giving mood. So, visit their site and give generously to us or another family before the end of this tax year :)

Happy November!
