The Beginning
December 25, 2010
To say that this was a "SPECIAL" Christmas was an understatement! The kids and I had been "working" on Tony and praying for him to come around and see that God truly was leading us to adopt. Every opportunity I had I said something to him about adopting. I have always wanted to adopt but then after 3 children that kind of went away, but the last 2 years I have really wanted to proceed. I never thought Tony would ever come around and agree. But boy was I surprised!!!!
As Christmas came all I had told Tony that I wanted was his signature for an adoption for Christmas. He kept telling me 3 children were enough and that we didn't need another one. I kept telling him that he may not need another child, but another child needed us! So Christmas morning my last present was a piece of stationary with his signature on the inside and it had a pink pacifier attached to it! He did great! We were all so excited, the kids were all crying, I was crying, it was wonderful! The kids immediately wanted to post it on facebook, we got them to hold on awhile before that happened! There were still a lot of details to work out! I did text some very close friends that had been praying for this to happen! They were all so excited for us! It was a very exciting and special Christmas!

February 8, 2011
Lisa came to do our first home visit and go over our paperwork. It was great! She interviewed the kids and they loved it! And we talked about agencies. I still haven't heard from the other agencies.

February 18, 2011
I receved a call from CCAI tday askinga few more questions and needing some more information. She said once she receives that information she will send me an acceptance letter! Can't wait to see that! We also received an email from the "waiting child" director and she told us that she had received our list, thanked us and told us that there were more than 100 familes in front of us:( I was sad to hear that, but happy that many children will be goingto forever homes!
