Oh Baby Baby!

All I can say is that We are so very blessed!  I am so incredibly pleased to share with our family and friends that thanks to the most amazing couple, we have been picked to adopt a BABY!!!!!  Can you tell we are freakin excited! Because we are and that is the understatement of the century!  Our desire for children has been so great and unfortunately we have been left wanting for far too long.  Our journey has been a difficult one to say the least, but we are so grateful for the light at the end of the tunnel.  We began our journey on the adoption road about a year ago, but shortly after beginning, we paused in our tracks.  For many reasons and reasons unknown, we just werent able to move forward with our adoption process and so we paused and waited and attempted a few more fertility rounds.  We just didnt understand why nothing was working, both in adoption or fertility.  Well, we now know.  In 2011, we picked up where we left off and sprinted down the road to complete our paperwork.  We seriously spent every free hour working on our paperwork and our adoption blog, trying to make it just right.  The average wait with our adoption agency is 2 years (pretty standard).  That was just far too long for us, so we felt we needed to help the process along and find our own baby.  We sought the help of family and friends to spread the word.  We also decided to post our adoption profile on a website called www.parentprofiles.com.  This is a website that advertises on the top adoption websites that appear when you google adoption.  One day short of our first month posted on this website, we were matched with the most wonderful couple and given hopes of a miracle.  Before this match, it felt as though the way had been blocked and doors had been closing all around us.  Now, the way has been cleared and everything has been so smooth and easy.  This amazing couple shares many of our feelings and thoughts on adoption.  This adoption is completely based on love and joy and will be a beautiful gift from amazing individuals.  How fast these two strangers have become dear friends and more.  We will share more information as the pregnancy progresses, but for now, things are going well and we couldnt be happier.  This truly is a blessing and we are so excited and grateful.
