Nothing to report

I was just informed that I need to update over here...problem is, there's nothing to update! I got home from Chicago and basically turned around and headed out to Virginia and Maryland for two weeks, so not much has happened, adoption-wise, since my last report.

Let's see...

We have acquired a crib for the nursery.

We are working on our two-page birthparent letter and longer profile to send back to the agency.

Great meeting

We were in Chicago over the weekend, meeting with our caseworker for the first time. We also took a class with our agency - the best class we've taken in this whole process - and took a tour.

I was quite anxious on the cab ride over until we passed a sign on an Episcopal church. It said, "Relax. God is still in charge." It really spoke to me and helped me to let go of my anxieties.

The best part of the weekend? We really feel like we are definitely on the right path. Would it have been much easier, travel-wise, to find a reputable agency in Boston? Absolutely. There was an amazing sense this past weekend, however, that we were in the right place for us.

We have profiles to write and some more paperwork, but we're on the road.
