Adoption Update

Everyone has been so supportive through this whole process so far. I can't thank everyone enough! I get asked a lot when we expect to get our referral. So I thought maybe I needed an update. We are looking (and hoping) to go in February or March! Hopefully February!!! We are the next ones on our agency's list for a girl. I can't believe how close it is! I'm starting to get anxious about all the unknowns. I've tried to get stuff done that can be done early. I've started shopping for items we need for the trip (electric converter, Pepto, things like that). I get very overwhelmed with where to stay, hotel vs. apartment. Hopefully we will use a good travel agent to help with all that. The difficult part is we will only get a couple weeks notice before we travel and then it will be crunch time. Thankfully there are lots of families that have gone before us and I plan on seeking out their help. Thanks again for everyone's support and thoughts. Wouldn't it be nice if my next post was to share good news?!?

We can't wait to see the message that "It's time!!" Every time I see you have updated your website, I get excited.

Hi! I'm another happy Lighthouse mom! I've bookmarked your blog & check it periodically to see your progress. You have a beautiful family! Noticed you are getting ready and need converters, etc. I have a ton of that kind of stuff (we've adopted 3 times) and would be happy to loan it to another Lighthouse family about to go on the journey of a lifetime! Let me know what's on your list.... I'd be happy to help! Also, we stayed at the Courtyard Marriott for trips 1 & 2. Then, Marriott Grand for trip 3. Both were perfect for our needs. Good luck! Looking forward to following you guys!
