Today is an emotional day; one filled with excitement, hope, and trepidation. I am at a loss for words, so many emotions racing around the roads of my mind. Although, the decisions to put our papers in for adoption has been solid for over a week, the thought there for many months, taking the application and turning it in made it real.
It is a new beginning for us, a new chapter in our lives. The desire to have a family and be a mom seems within reach. It is nice to know that in 14 days we won't have to take a pregnancy test to have it show negative, yet again. The excitement and the process of adoption is just beginning and at the end, whenever it may be, we will be blessed with a sweet child that we will be privileged to raise in our family.
I am thrilled to continue to learn about the process, to discover the to do's to make this more of a reality. I am reading and trying to learn as much as I can. I have a new sense of motivation to make sure things are in order so we will be ready when given the opportunity to be parents.
Surely there will be days of frustration and sadness but today is a joyous day and I am so grateful for the support that has been given by so many! I am excited for this journey and can't wait for the next step!
