Long Overdue
This post is long overdue and a lot has happened. When I really started the process there were a few things I started thinking about. It is unlikely that my baby will come from Washington, so I have started vaguely planning. I can start with a gender neutral diaper bag and some outfits, diapers, until I know for sure that rights have been signed away and the revocation period is over and we are headed home I won't be sure, the agency says 50% of adoptive parents match and complete the process and the other 50% have failed first matches but complete on second or third match. I could know the birth mom and potentially meet her and know the gender of the baby I am adopting but until we are headed home it won't feel real. On my way from the airport I will stop at Target and Wal-Mart and buy a car seat and formula. I can get a crib now. At work one day one of my co workers was asking if I had ever thought about a nursery, and really I hadn't, I guess I thought I would decide...
