Orientation

I am so at peace with all our decisions right now. Today, we had our orientation with the local agency to adopt domestically (kids up for state adoption). Yes we know we are taking big risks with kids from the US because we know a lot of their issues are different from what we see in the IA world but we are up for the challenge. Our homestudy from the Rwandan adoption is actually going to be quite useful and that will limit the paperchase and such. We should finish classes by June and the homestudy for this as well by then since we already have so much from before. They are thinking by the fall they will present us with matches. The girls are very excited about the expansion potential in our family. We are open to a sibling group and most likely they have told us that we should prepare for that.

We did not get the news from the doctor and it was not the news we hoped for. Keith's damage is worse now than it was years ago but we are proceeding to try to a have a baby as well. We are going to work on this for a few months and if it seems fruitless well than it was not meant to be. The agency did tell us that being open to a sibling group under the age of 8 does give us the possible opportunity to be presented with a group with a baby so that will also meet our desires to have another little one in addition to an older child as well.
