Its getting close!

So, up until now I have kept it pretty quiet, telling only a few close friends and family. Its something I have wanted to do as long as I can remember. I never thought it would actually happen!
In January 2009 we set the plan in motion and decided to pursue adoption. Our original thought was to adopt from China, but it was very costly. Since then we have decided to do a domestic adoption. In Texas alone there are 6,000 kids FREE for adoption! We did lots of research and decided to follow through. I have almost backed out many times out of fear but didn't. I am so glad I didn't. We are finally approaching the end of all of the paperwork and it is getting exciting. We should be adding to our family by the end of the year!
I am not the greatest writer and not real good about updating on a regular basis either. But I plan on trying. Since it is becoming reality now I would like to keep friends and family updated as well as have a journal of our experience. Hopefully we will encourage others to consider adoption or be a source of information for those interested!
Currently we are waiting for our homestudy then comes the matching process! Won't be long now :)
