Its official!

Our adoption journey has begun! We are officially registered in the Domestic Infant Adoption Program at our agency.

We attended one last info meeting yesterday and registered to begin the process. 17 other couples at the meeting also registered (majority for international).

During the break my DH and I were chatting with a woman seated near us. She had chosen the domestic infant program too. I couldnt help but think "This is our competition." Is that wrong?

When we got to the meeting it was raining. During the meeting it changed over to ice/snow. By the time we left everything was covered in ice! The roads were a mess.... cars in the ditch everywhere ... crashed into barrier walls ... turned every direction ... it was scary! It was a white-knuckle trip home. Luckilly we made it in one piece (gottta love MN weather!)

Once home we read thru the application packet. How exciting! (and a bit scary)
We are both off from work (spring break) so we plan to dive right into the paperwork today.

Wish us luck!
