Day Zero!

Yesterday was day zero of our 60-day waiting period. It went by so quickly, and luckily, uneventfully. Little man has done SO much in those 60 days, its pretty amazing. He has gone from rolling around to get places to army crawling, now regular crawling and pulling himself from sit to kneel to stand....walking isnt going to be much longer! Incredible for a guy who couldnt roll over all the way just 7 months ago. Its so exciting watching him learn all kinds of new things!

This Is The Hardest Part

Waiting. Waiting is the hardest part. We flew through all of our background checks, interviews, home studies, all of it. As soon as we had our license, it seemed like we got the email about a then-8 month old little guy who needed a permanent home. He has been with us for six months this Tuesday. We have been ready with all of our paperwork and everything we need to complete this adoption since before we knew for sure that he'd be coming to live with us. Right now, we are in the middle of our 60 day waiting period after having his 26 hearing to terminate parental rights. After those 60 days, we can petition for an adoption date, and from what we have heard, it wont take much longer. It could be as little as 2 more months. I feel like we were so prepared for this to be a difficult process, and now it really just is a waiting game.
I can not wait until we can post photos of our baby boy, to share his story with the world. I cant wait to let everyone meet this little man who has made such a difference in our lives!
