Meanwhile back at the ranch

It has been a busy, exciting, nervewracking and crazy weekend here. On Friday my sister in FL forwarded me an email she had gotten from a lawyer in her book club. It was about an adoption situation that she had. Eventually this email (after having been reviewed by said sister and my local sister) was forwarded to me. It was an intriuging situation. One that had my heart aflutter. One of the problems is that, even though the situation is one that we would be open to with our agency, is harder to accept when there isn't the protection of the agency. Also, my sisters now 'know' the whole background of the situation. Again, not a huge deal but not one of those things that I really ever thought was anyone's business but ours.

So, we spent most of Friday making calls to doctors, laywers, etc. trying to figure out what the next steps were. We also sent the laywer an email with a number of clarification questions in order for us to make a decision to keep moving forward. I also know that there are other families who have made initial contact as well. So this is not a sure thing even if we say go.

At this point I am waiting on the answers to the questions we posed and have completed their 'profile' questionnaire (which was basically a cut and paste job from my homestudy). That way if the answers are acceptable to us, then we can just email the profile immediately and get things moving.

BTW, she is due on July 5th. So this is moving pretty quick.

My mind is racing and I know this post rambled. I hope to be able to post more later today.

Wish us luck.
