Adoption

I feel like it's my birthday!

[I should start out by saying DH is cautious in nature, which balances me out very well.]

DH finally agreed that we can adopt our next child! He decided we should adopt from Uganda, since that's the only country we're eligible for AND have family friends there.

I have been waaaaaiting for this day, and it's here! Sooooo happy!

Now we just have to do...everything. :/ But we're hoping to sign on with an agency by Christmas. DS is only 8 mos, so we have time. 

Until then, "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life"
