Why? Answering questions about adoption

I found an online post recently that beautifully answers the questions people ask about why we adopt.  This is so good, I had to share it on here, because I could not have said it better myself.

Here we are at the rest area in Iowa, using the wifi to post the news on FB!


The next day we got home to see our precious package on the doorstep!

A happy boy who will get to be big brother to two more!


Sending off our I800 applications.  Catherine got to be the one to put the package in the box.  She is so excited to finally get a sister!

I800 Approved!

Yesterday Fedex brought our two I800 approvals!  It was so exciting because it was a complete surprise.  I had emailed the Hague unit on Monday, and Tuesday got an email back saying that our applications had still not arrived from the lockbox, so I had told myself that next week would probably be when we got them.  The good thing about end of this process is that the wait times are shorter.  After waiting 95 days for our LSCs, I don't think my sanity could take another long wait.
