On November 16, 2007 we faxed our preliminary adoption application, and on November 17, 2007 we watched as the mailman took the preliminary adoption application. I consider this the official start of the adoptions process. Today, we had our scheduled International adoption awareness meeting with our agency. A dear friend watched Lawson and Eli while we had an hour and a half phone meeting about the ins and outs of international adoption. The meeting was informative, exciting, and exhausting for me. Our next step is to complete our formal application and submit it by December 21st.
Right now we have not told our families that we have started the adoption process. It's Killing me, we are so excited, I want to tell everyone; but we are going to wait for the holiday's when we will be together. It's going to be soooo... exciting to share this news with them.
