One year ago today, we began our journey to parenthood. We sat in front of a computer screen and filled out an online application to our adoption agency, paid the application fee and hit send at 6:09 pm. We were nervous and excited. Since we had done a lot of research we did have some idea of the journey ahead! The next day, we received an email back approving us to adopt! What a year it has been! Even with the small bumps along the way, I call it a huge success! In a year, we completed all our paperwork, had it translated, and are waiting for a referral of 1 or 2 precious children! (Although, looking back there are a few things I could have done differently to speed up the process. But we live and learn!)
