I get to speak these long-coveted words… 8/12/2004
I can’t even begin to express how exciting it is to get to announce that in approximately 8-10 months Steve and I are finally going to be parents!!! On Sunday we officially made the decision to adopt and have pretty much hit the ground running. I couldn’t believe the emotions that accompanied this decision: joy, excitement, relief, astonishment, a sense of privilege, and so much more (all good and some downright dizzying). Somehow I think I had expected the process towards adoption to be a continuation of the pain and trials of dealing with infertility. But it feels so very different. I think when you’re dealing with infertility, you often think that you might “have to adopt”, but now that we are there, I see it instead as us “getting to adopt”. What an awesome thing!
Steve also expressed his feelings on this decision and I just want to thank God for bringing us to this place and showing us which way to go. Soon we will have a child to love and care for and laugh with and who will become a part of us.
Woooohooooo! 
That’s so great Jodi. I’m so happy for you two. It’s so exciting that you’re going to have a family! That’s a great perspective on getting to adopt!
Adoption is a wonderful way to build a family! Congrats on your decision! We cannot wait to meet your child.
YES,VERY GOOD WEBSITE!
