Hey ladies.
I have been lurking on here for awhile now, and am so inspired by everyone's posts as FI and I have started the adoption process. I am a regular poster on TK (Don't hold that against me lol). We have decided on domestic adoption, and 2 years and under. The paperwork/classes here are months long and so it was suggested that we start the process now instead of waiting for the wedding just to cut back a bit of time (We get married 09/22).
I am an Ovarian Cancer survivor, however as a result of treatment we are aware of limitations as far as my body goes, and so are set that Adoption is the route for us!
We have already had our first interview with the social worker, and are scheduled for our next on 05/02. The next set of classes running in our area it looks like will be this summer.
We are a Christian couple with a great church family, as well as amazing friends and family for support... but there is something about talking to others going through or have gone through the same situation that is so comforting! I am hoping to get to know you ladies more!

silliestbunny - I would love to learn how that impacted your journey! I do attend a support group, but none of the ladies have adopted so that's one thing that I haven't been able to hear much about! Thank you, and thanks for the info about the YG, I will have to check that out!!!
