Hello everyone, my name is Denay and I'm a newbie. My husband and I have always talked about wanting wanting to adopt, and we decided to move forward as of last night! We're very excited to say goodbye to fertility treatment and start pursuing this new route of adding to our family.
I'm the type of person that loves to research and learn everything I can, so I know that I will have plenty of questions for those of you who have already started the process.
I had lurked here a while back and remember seeing a blog or website with lots of helpful info. Is that link floating around anywhere? What other resources did you find helpful when you were just starting out?
Looking forward to getting to know all of you!
Re: Made the decision last night :)
Welcome!
Congratulations on your decision. I'm a newbie here as well as we just made the final decision to proceed with adoption a couple of weeks ago. This board has been a wealth of knowledge thus far. I look forward to hearing more of your journey!
