Ta-Freaking-Da!

Yep, it's been a year and now I have stuff to write about, happenings that I'd like to be recorded and shared. Granted, I'm not too keen on said details being around FOREVER in the internetaverse, but you my dear reader, family member, friend, are much too far away to read my journal. So this blog thing will have to suffice.

No update here- we're just going to start with today.
Ok, fine I'll update:
New house
Restarting the _Adoption_Process_ with the same agency.

Today is a monday- 6 days ago we had our second intake interview. (Remember this is the second time we are entering this process). It was a little nerverwrecking, these interviews can last for four hours and can include questions like "After a break up are you more likely to lean toward homicide or suicide?" and "How many gallons does your pool hold?" (each of these is very difficult in its own precious way). Luckily we had answered many of the difficult questions in our first go round. So this time the case worker (a new one!) was able to wrap it up in under 2 hours.

Len and I have no problem talking about ourselves for that long.
We both left feeling really good and super excited about, what I've come to think of as, "our pregnancy."

Next Step:
The case worker will present our family to the whole team for review and they will decide whether or not to move us forward

Prognosis:
The case worker was very optimistic, telling us it's very rare for a family not to be accepted if they already were before. So, here's hoping we're not rare.

Time Frame:
uh . . . I forgot to pay attention to that part. I think the meeting is scheduled for the week before Thanksgiving . . . that's next week, right?
