My wife and I have recently decided that adoption is the way we're going to go (instead of TTC), and I'm crazy about this blog. Thanks for sharing. Congratulations on your son!!

Excited. <br /><br />I thought NM was the one who brought home the strays? :) Especially illegal ones. ;) <br /><br />Showed Rebeca the photo and she appropriately swooned. She's so mushy when it comes to babies. And we constantly talk about your little family.

That's your son in there!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Are you allowed to write the birth mother a letter that your agency could pass along to her? It makes me sad to hear that she doesn't have a lot of support. But it sounds like knowing that you two exist and that you're awesome and that it's a done deal has made all of the difference. How amazing adoption is--changing so many people's lives for the better in one fell swoop.mama bea, bao in the ovenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892901302368080471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974099034936187473.post-78005602006443100512011-08-03T10:10:04.883-07:002011-08-03T10:10:04.883-07:00omg, so soon. that's crazy. you guys must be e...omg, so soon. that's crazy. you guys must be exploding inside.<br /><br />we had trouble with both names and circumcision, too. in the end, bunny picked both. the name just stuck and, because he was sick, we didn't get him circumcised even though we had originally planned to.Pomegranatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269172833468901068noreply@blogger.com
