Officially Adopting!!!!!

My DH and I decided this week that we are officially adopting!  We are super excited!!!!  We told our families this week and they are really excited too!  We are adopting domestically.  Our home study visit is next week.  I'm a little nervous about it, but excited to get everything started.  We plan to get an infant.  They told us the average time is 6 mths after the home study is approved.  My sister-in-law is pregnant and due in 6mths, so we might have a baby at the same time!  I can't wait to meet our child!!!

    Good luck!  I love when people post that they are just starting!  It's such an exciting decision to make, and it's sooooo worth all the hoops you have to jump through when you hold your baby for the first time!
