Well, I've started the process of looking for a second job to help us pay for an adoption. David's not too thrilled about it, but what can you do? I figure the 1st year of a second job will be mostly to pay off the bills that we have now (logical I think) and then start saving for the adoption. Another option that we looking at is foster to adopt. I don't know a whole lot about that option yet. I will have to do some more research. I have a feeling that this whole process is going to be a 4+ years thing. You know me, I'm ready for it to happen tomorrow. However, I need to be realistic about things. So, I'll keep updating my blog and letting you know what goes on, I'm just there will be a whole lot to talk about for the first year or so.

Updated Information

Hey Everyone,
I know it's been a very long time since I've updated our blog. Well, there have been some major changes going on. Most of them just within the past 24 hours. David and I have decided we are ready to look at adoption. Some of you may already know that David and I are unable to have kids. Up to this point we haven't really thought about adoption. (David was nervious about it.) Well, last night we sat down and talked and we have decided we are ready to do this. I am SO excited! I'm the kind of person that is ready to go buy a crib and clothes and toys.....BUT I know that I need to slow myself down. Step 1 is to find an agency. Step 2 is to come up with 26,000 dollars. HOLY COW!!! That is a lot of money, trust me I know! At this point in time it looks like I'm going to have to take on a second job. Honestly, it doesn't sound that bad to me. I am ready to get this process rolling but I don't want to do that until I have the funds available. I don't want to get half way though things and then "oh crap" we don't have the money.

So, now that we've started this process I thought our blog would be the best place to keep all my friends and family updated on how everything is going on. Wish us luck everyone!!!
