We're now in the midst of paper chasing for a domestic infant adoption.
At first, it seemed so overwhelming and I was worried about so many things. Will my health history be an issue? Do we make enough money? What if no one likes us?
But now I just have to believe that this is the right path for us. Now I'm excited!
We have our first actual meeting with the social worker at our agency in less than 2 weeks :-)
So here's a question.. what are your favorite adoption books?
Experienced infertility during first marriage, diagnosed with PCOS in 2008.
Married my amazing husband May 22, 2010
Became Step-Mom to 2 boys.
Husband had vasectomy in 2004 during first marriage.
