By March of last year we pretty much knew that adopting a baby was really the only way for us to have a family. So when we were ready we had a throw all the needles and medicine party (for 2). Sounds corney but it was great to let go. Walter had an empty water bottle and we dumped the medicine in it...we broke every needle and labeled the container...and that was the end of that!!
Shorty after we had recieved our application from our adoption agency and BOOM... instantly, we were part of the "adoption circle." Though we had mourned a bit about not being able to have our own children, we had found another dream. This is wonderful dream that will come true.
Instantly, we saw things differently even in our home. Things like doorknobs, radiators with no covers. It was a sense of responisblilty that I guess one that is expecting would feel.
There was a point of our process that there was nothing we could do...we were waiting for our 1st set of paper work to come back from the state and of course everything is done 4-6 weeks (or more) in the "adoption world."
So we wait and wait and wait....I have a "freak-out" moment (this is where the tittle comes into the story)......I say OMG We're Adopting and I don't think we traveled enough. Now naturally we have had a list of places that we've wanted to go and thankfully alot of those places were no more then a 5 hour drive away from our home. Some of the places we've been to last year were Gettysburg, PA......Finger Lakes, NY...Niagara Falls, NY & Canada...more shore time and ofcourse not to mention every long weekend we went somewhere!!! We had a great time. We knew we weren't going to Russia so we had decided to use up every week and go somewhere. It was a great idea and we have no regrets about it.
2007...It was a good year.
