An introduction

anniess

Hi, I'm Annie, my husband, Wade, and I are adopting! We currently have one son (biological) who just turned three.

We've both always wanted to adopt, and we finally are doing so and we can't wait to hold our new child in our arms. We are adopting from Uganda, Africa. It's a hard, long process but we know it will be worth it in the end.

We currently live in the mountains of western USA. I am a "domestic engineer" (a housewife, lol) earning an online degree in TESOL to go along with my bachelor of Business Admin and my husband is in the medical field.

I've enjoyed lurking on here and seeing your different stories, adoption is such an exciting thing!

Can't wait to jump into the community!


PS I didn't know for sure what I should put in my intro, so feel free to ask anything should you want to know...

I hope you find the site helpful and encouraging!  My daughter's studying TESOL and also wants to adopt some day, so your intro made me smile

Bless you and your husband for pursuing adoption ~ I wish there were many more couples like you out there ~ you ROCK!  Hugs to you both!

Welcome! That is very exciting and I can't wait to hear more about your journey. I have a friend who recently adopted from Africa as well I believe it was Uganda but I need to look into that. When I find their information I will PM you a link to their blog I think you'll find it really interesting.

That's awesome! We love reading African adoption blogs. 

Might I say that your daughter is ADORABLE!

Hi! My H and I are also TESOL certified and taught in Vietnam for over a year. One of the reasons we came back was to foster/adopt, but when that happens we plan to go back long term.

Too cool! My H and I spent six months in near there in Thailand before DS was born, me teaching ESL and him working as a medic for a "semester abroad" to get practical credits towards his degree and experience for me I hope your adoption process goes smoothly!
