We're certifiably crazy now...

We're going to do it and go for Baby #2 who is due just a couple of months after Payton! There are a few hoops to jump through because s/he is American Indian, but we're prepared and things are looking pretty good!

That is super exciting and crazy too!! WOW:) You would certainly be doubly blessed to bring home two little ones so close together!

lilmufish · July 2009

WOW, that is amazing!

Sally J · July 2009

Yay! Congrats!! So excited for you...craigslist will be your best friend when you go to look for doubles of everything! I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.

(p.s. Being of Inupiat descent, generally the best term to use is Native American.)

CaptainSerious · July 2009

Wow, Mrs.B! I'm so happy for you! Good luck through both processes, and may your family always be blessed and happy!

Thanks for the correction Sally -- I should have known that, she (birthmother) has been referring to it as AI all morning in our emails and it was just at the forefront of my mind. I'm 1/32 Cherokee myself. And I'm sure I will have lots of questions!

come*on*baby · July 2009

yes you are, but clearly i'm not one to judge :P

FWIW: this will always be a debate and neither is wrong according to tribal affairs groups and most actually would rather be known by their tribe affiliation (instead of saying they are NA or AI .. say they are Cherokee or a member of the navajo tribe, etc).

Anyway - congrats! This will be the most difficult and exciting adventure!

thats sooo exciting!

foundmylazybum · July 2009

Yay! I'm so happy for you!!?

You guys are champions!!?

Jessie*J · July 2009

Ohhh i'm so jealous lol. We told our agency we really wished a situation would come along for us to adopt a child of any native american descent.

My great grandma was full Cherokee and the other side of my family has Indian in it also. Both sides are very keen on our Indian heritage! Plus my DH's stepfamily are all full Indian!!

(I also PM'd you)

Are you going to share name choices for another girl?

AND boys!?

You should let me name them. I'm very good ;D ?

Temp206787500007404 · July 2009

If it's a boy Jacob Landry.

If it's a girl, I like Poppy Grace. But my DH is determined to get Landry in there somewhere (and he thinks we're only having two kids...little does he know...), so it might be Landry Grace.

foundmylazybum · July 2009

I LOVE the name Poppy! But Poppy and Payton is a lot of "Ps!"?

I think Landry is super cute!

Payton and Landry...goes good.

And Jacob..classic. ?

My BFF has been trying to get anyone who will listen to name their girl Poppy! Sooooo cute!

Grace is our girl middle name pick too. But that is about as far as we have gotten. lol??

PSU-NCBride · July 2009

Congrats! ?That so exciting.?

Temp206787500007404 · July 2009

It is a lot of P's! But I love Poppy so much if he agrees, I'll just stutter P-p-p-p-p and one of them will listen (hopefully).

DH picked both Payton (Walter Payton) and Landry (Tom Landry). So I figure I should get to pick names eventually! I would love another girl so they can share a room, but would be absolutely thrilled with a boy too!
