18 months




We're sorry that if you've checked our blog in the past 6 months, all you've heard was crickets.
It's just that there hasn't been anything to update and it's been easier to distance ourselves from the adoption world than to agonize over every minute, day, week, month, and year that goes by and we're still not parents.
The good news is that this insanely long wait has given us the chance to tackle a huge project that we knew we'd need to do someday. In July, around the time we decided to change our preference to two kids and knew we'd be waiting even longer for our referral, we started on our dream addition to our house. We're almost finished now and SO glad that we had the chance to do this project before we had kids running around! It will be so nice to bring our kids home to our finished house and their forever home!
I think Christmastime would be a very fun time to receive one's referral so maybe we'll be giving a fun update soon! If not, look for an update in another 6 months which will be 2 years on the waitlist. Surely we won't make it that long, right?

One year on the waitlist

One year ago today we were added to our agency's OFFICIAL WAIT LIST!!! It was an awesome, awesome day! One year later we're still waiting (which we weren't expecting to be) BUT on the other hand, now we're waiting on TWO kids instead of one so it makes sense that our wait would be longer. We're taking it all in stride, with an extra pep in our step today because we are remembering that we're ONE YEAR closer to our kids than we were on June 2, 2010! :) So today is a happy day!
