So it looks like we have been matched!! Which is great. The boys sound great for family.
For some reason, whenever I tell people about the boys they ask "What race are they?" And then act surprised that they are white.
Just a personal pet peeve!!

Hooray for being matched! How exciting!
Boo for stupid people. It still amazes me the things people will say.
Congrats!!
I am with you on the race question. We get that as well. People are shocked that we have "2 white babies". They are so stupid because one is bi-racial.
But you KNOW, white people are always responsible with their life decisions and never get into situations they aren't able to handle.
I mean, DUH. [eyeroll]

Mar '12: Homestudy interrupted by change in Uganda requirements - where do we go from here?
After searching and searching, back with Uganda but with our homestudy agency's program.
Homestudy complete July 19
USCIS I-600A submitted July 20. Biometrics appointments arrived Aug 17; fingerprinted Aug 21; 171H received Sept 25th. On the wait list Oct 1st: #18. By Jan 25th, we're #13!
Come home, baby A!
This made me LOL.
DO IT! I'd ask what color Texans are, but around here that's kind of a loaded question. [some people get very cranky about staying the majority. talk about white privilege...]

Thanks for the congrats, I should focus on that. Just get peeved at people's ignorance sometimes.
The transition will maybe be about 5 weeks? So early/Mid-December. We will likely do some day visits near them, a day visit at our house, then an overnight at our house.
So excited for you! This is the same type of foster-adopt situation we are looking for. All the best to you and your family!
And I completely agree - wtf on the race thing. I always feel like people need to "put everyone in their category" when they do that. Yuck.
