I don't know if anyone is looking at this blog anymore, but I wanted to add one last entry... we are finally parents! We switched to a domestic adoption program in late summer, waited on their wait list for only 4 weeks, and are now completing the adoption of our new daughter, born in November. We are thrilled and humbled and exhausted (in a good way!). I don't intend to keep updating this blog, or to post many details here in such a public space, but if anyone would like more information about our new agency or our process, I'd be happy to share. Leave me a comment with your email address or send me a message.
Best wishes to those of you still on your adoption journey....

Congratulations. I am thrilled, truly thrilled, for you two, now three. Susan told me that you all had met your beautiful daughter and I was so happy to hear the news. I would love to hear more about your new addition and am so glad that this whole crazy adventure led you to the right little person.
All our best for a very happy new year.
