Yes, I mean it. Thank you all for your help! I got some really great insight and links from you all and it means a lot. I made some great progress in our agency search the past couple days!

I have requested information packets from several agencies and I will be calling them this week to ask some questions.  I’m hoping to be able to narrow it down based on those calls and then M and I will set up a consultation with the finalists! (It sounds like American Idol doesn’t it? Ha Ha!)  But anyway, I am just really excited to be moving onto something else!

I know, I know…I need to be patient and pace myself. This is a marathon, not a sprint! I know that the excitement of adoption is not going to completely lift my spirits for the entire next year or two as we wait. As many of you have said on your own blogs, infertility is a pain that never leaves completely. But for now, I am excited and I’m just going to enjoy that feeling for as long as it lasts!

We even asked one of our good friends (a couple) if they would be one of our references. They said they would love to! It was nice to know that people are being so supportive of this…including our own families. They are all pretty excited too. I probably need to remind them this is a marathon too!

By the way, in case it didn’t come across adequately enough earlier….Thanks again!

    I’m happy things are progressing. The picture of the cookies is making me hungry. Yummm…step away from the key lime white chocolate cookies I have in my kitchen I’m telling myself..step away! I’m glad you have some great friends offering to be a reference too. Things are sounding good!

    I am so excited for you guys. I finally starting looking at adoption today on the internet. I am feeling like maybe we are going to have to start talking about it more seriously. Good luck with this phase. I look forward to hearing which agency you guys choose.

    Yay! Hope things work out! I might have to “borrow” your research in the near future. :-)

    Oh how exciting! We started on the Adoption Journey just about two months ago and I can’t believe all the changes that have taken place in our hearts. God has swelled our hearts so full for the child(ren) we will adopt. It doesn’t cure IF, but it is exciting to have a new dream! I’ll pray that God fills your hearts similarly. Good luck in finding an agency!
