I’m not even sure what to type. I’m numb. We turned down a possible opportunity today. For a baby due in just 3 weeks. This hurts more than I can express in words…..

I just can’t stand it any longer. Having two blogs seemed logical in the beginning… well, I guess it still is considering the content on this site (my dad does NOT need to know about my sex life!) but I find myself kind of in limbo. We started the “adoption” blog for friends and family. [...]

If you are interested in keeping track of our adoption, I am blogging the progress on a different site. If you look on my blogroll just click on the first link “A Child For Us.” It’s really been amazing so far :)

It’s been over a year since I’ve allowed myself to roam aisles full of baby things. There was once a time when I walked through the sea of pink and blue with lots of hope and promise…I wasn’t pregnant…but in my mind I could have been. I could have been like every other mother roaming [...]

Sent out the application yesterday evening! DH called with the finishing info…I typed it in and hit SEND. Ball is in their court now. So the constant E-mail checking and waiting begins…again ;) I guess I’d better get used to that! Chopped all my hair off yesterday. Not sure how brilliant that was. My neck [...]
