1 year mark

Well on Oct. 1st, it will mark our 1 year since we embarked on our adoption journey. We received notification from the agency that it is time to renew (keyword for dish out more money) some of our clearances. We got re-fingerprinted, as if those ever change and began filling out the paperwork and writing the checks. I keep hoping that we only need to renew this one time before we adopt.
The first time around filling out all of the paperwork was exciting because we didn't know what to expect and everything seemed to be going at a fast pace and then silence. Now, I know that once the paperwork is completed and everything is in, all we will have to look forward to is some more waiting. But that's okay. If it's meant to be, it will be. I'll continue to daydream where will we be when we get the call? Where will we have to travel to in the US to pick up or lil nugget? Will the birthparents like us? What will the child be when they grow up? Will we be great parents? All of the things that goes through the minds of first time parents, especially first time adoptive parents.

Thanks for taking the time to read my blog. As always your stories are most welcome.
