Accepted!!!

It's so silly to think that we wouldn't be accepted; however, with everything that we'd been through it really felt like a distinct possibility in my mind. Up until this point, it seemed that the unvierse was conspiring against us in starting a family and so I was holding out hope until we were offically accepted.

On May 12, the day after Mother's Day, we were accepted!!!! This was the most exciting part of the process thus far (other than actually making the decision to adopt). We found out that we were number 33 on the list. It really felt like we might be able to start a family!

Unfortunately, my husband and I drove seperately, so I made the half hour drive back home by myself. I immediately called my sister and left her a message. I was sobbing on her voicemail that we were finally going to have a baby and that we were 33 on the list! It was hard to believe that this was actually happening- now all we have to do is sit back and wait for baby!
