Adoption

We Registered!

After TTC for 2 1/2 years and now being active with the agency we felt it was a good day to register (also our 12 year anniversary!). I realize that we could be waiting for a long time, and some if not all of the stuff will need to be updated, but it felt so good to take steps and say 'We're going to be parents!'.

I was shy at BRU wondering if we'd get someone who'd look at us with 9 heads when we said we were registering while adopting but the lady was super nice. She got us all set up. 2hrs later (geesh) we turned the gun back in and the guy was nice enough. I think he was a little confused but I was happy enough and ignored him.

  • Yea it was weird registering.  We mostly registered online just to keep track of stuff ourselves since we didn't have a "pre" baby shower, but we did end up wanting a few things from Babies R Us too and if you register you got the gift bag and coupon

  • I totally get it--my husband and I started a small registry and will add more to it once we find out what we're having. :)  It's a fun step to take! :)

    I'm a dance studio owner, writer, cat mommy, and adventuress who is married to the man of her dreams. My husband and I have had a long-time dream to adopt and it's happening in a way that we didn't quite anticipate. But, like any move of God, it's turning out way better than we expected. We'd love for you to follow our story at www.kirstenkline.com!
