This is our journey to becoming parents. We are like most married couples who want to have a family (I think), we got married (in the fall of 2002) and thought it would be easy, we thought we would become parents in our first year of marriage, we did not. We decided to adopt in the summer of 2005. We discussed our option, domestic or international, and did a lot of research and decided to adopt from China. We started the "paper chase" in Aug of 2005 and we were LID with the CCAA on March 7, 2006. When we started the process, the wait time from LID to referral was 6-9 months, it is now 16-19 months.
We are private people, so when I told my husband I wanted to start a blog he thought I was nuts. Before we started the adoption process, I rarely searched the Internet and I did not know what a blog was. I try not to get caught up in the rumor mill, but reading other peoples blogs about their adoption experience helps because they understand. We started attending the FCC Waiting Families meetings about 6 months ago and have already witnessed several families receive their referrals and travel to China to bring home their beautiful children.
We are hoping to travel to China this year to bring our daughter home but it may not work out that way. When we hold our beautiful little girl for the first time, I know we will forget about the long wait and all we will feel is love for our new daughter, Mei.
I started this blog to keep family and friends updated on our adoption progress and our lives in general. I am not sure how to do the blogging thing or if my family and friends will read it but I guess we will see. I am off to watch Grey's Anatomy and Tim is out with his friends watching basketball, which he will be doing all weekend - gotta love March Madness.
