Forms away!

Well we sent of our I-600A paperwork to the department of homeland security today! So another ball goes out of our court, I must admit that it feels good to have things off our plate and on someone else's plate but at the same time now we get to WAIT!

We are headed to Fort Worth at the end of this week to visit Gladney Adoption Agency. We are going to find out a great deal from this trip - we will meet the individual in charge of Russian adoptions and we have a huge list of questions to ask. We will also get to meet other couples adopting in Russia and hopefully we will find a couple that we can cuss and discuss the process with.

Every time we move forward I get more and more excited. I have been scared but now a very weird peace has come over me and I can't wait to hold him in my arms - I get emotional thinking about it. For me that is pretty HUGE! I rarely get emotional just thinking about things but just thinking about my little boy and what all I get to do with him really chokes me up! So, hold on world we are going to be a force to be reckoned with!

Note to our little man:
I am making a list of all the things I want to do with you - hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, climbing (wow do I need to get in shape for that), building things (and if you are going to be anything like me - you will want to tear things up as well), and of course being a BOY - and all the fun that you can stand! You know what the best thing is... Mom loves to do those things too! In fact, she is better at some of them than I am - but don't tell her I said that. I love you and will write again soon!
