Yesterday in church right after the service, we were still standing in the pews and this woman – probably my age – comes up to me with this little girl in her arms. And she’s like, “Um, hi, I realize we don’t know each other, but for some reason my daughter wanted to meet you.” [...]

Yesterday we met with our social worker and it was just great. She was really wonderful at relieving any fears we had about the process. She also helped explain the process and gave advice on certain adoption situations. We have a ton of paperwork to do, but she’s going to file for our fingerprints how [...]

And we’ve talked about actually buying the crib then, [...]
