That has become and will be our family agenda for the next year or so. We are completely finished with the 80 + pages of paperwork including two pictures drawn by our kids of the house, our family, and the new baby (and in Tyler's picture a dead turkey in the oven as he describes it). Now we wait for the home study too begin (Friday!!). Then we wait...then we put together our book for perspective birth parents...then we wait. Then we wait for the baby to be born...then we wait. Then we wait for the parental rights termination waiting period...then we wait for the finalization of the adoption. Then we breathe!
I look at babies in a longing kind of way now, wondering what our new baby will look like. Will they be a cat napper or a sleeper? Will they have hair at birth, or blue eyes, or curls? Only time will tell. The only thing that's for sure is that the love is already there and I look forward to the day I can pick up our precious baby and they scrunch up their little feet and snuggle in....that's the stuff dreams are made of.
