Adoption
Broke the news to the in-laws on Thanksgiving
We told DH parents that we are adopting. They are so excited which make me much more excited than I already was. We went out with them last night and I guess they had been talking about it constantly since we told them. My mother in law is already wanting to buy all the baby's furniture and help paint. I wasn't sure how they'd take it, (they have two grand baby's already) I knew they'd be happy for us but didn't expect that reaction. She told me that's all she's been thinking about. How sweet! Just wanted to share.

Re: Broke the news to the in-laws on Thanksgiving
that was our plan too, but it did not work out that way. I guess we were waiting for it to come up in conversation - which of course it did not.
We really have to tell them soon, I really don't want to call them and say, "hey, we are adopting (fost/adopt) and we just got our first placement yesterday"
I just don't want to do an official announcement, I would rather it just come up in conversation. So, we will see.
I am glad you got a good reaction

That is great!! It's so awesome how supportive families are
Yay for you guys! That's good.
MyColonyNJ-lol. My side of the family knew right away but his family we told when we were matched with Khloe's birthmom--3 weeks before she was born. lol. They were excited-Khloe's is there only grandchild.
That's great that they are excited for you and DH! Isn't it fun to share the news??
Congratulations!
Thank you for all of the replies. It really is exciting. It got me all excited again. I go through stages because I know it's going to be a long road and I'm already impatient about it so I try not to even think about it but it has been hard the last few days.
