After reading the post below, it looks like there are a few us from, or close to, Chicago. Just wondering who's all in the area. Would anyone be interested in a GTG? I know summers are busy, so we could always wait until the fall. Just curious
Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever! Expecting again after IVF
Yeah, I'm glad there's some interest! GTG are always fun, but I think it would especially beneficial to meet other people who are adopting/fostering too. If enough people actually want to travel in maybe we could do an overnight (I have a friend who works for a hotel downtown and can usually get great deals!).
I'll have to start brainstorming...if anyone thinks of anything let me know. You can always email me at trisha_nicole at hotmail dot com too.

I live in the west suburbs....I think it would be fun to get together.
