Welcome to the first entry for this adoption blog. Through this blog, we will chronicle our second adoption journey as a written . For those of you unfamiliar with our style of blog narrative, names will be identified by first initials only.
E and I are so very excited to have begun the process for the second time. As a couple, we have always known that we wanted to be the parents of two children. This time, our adoption journey is leading us to Ethiopia (hence forever abbreviated ET), with the hopes of adopting a beautiful baby girl - thus, creating our family of four!
On April 25th (my 36th birthday), we decided to officially begin the process for adoption #2. Being the research hound that I am, I compared several agencies that came recommended from families that have adopted from Ethiopia. After careful consideration, prayer, and discernment, we chose the Gladney Center. We look forward to working w/ J, J, and the entire ET staff.
So far, we've waded through all the wonderful paperwork for Gladney and the ET dossier (I think I put this part of the first adoption process way back in my subconscious to elicit a sweet sense of amnesia) and have completed quite a few forms, with more to come! Thankfully, J & J have been very open and receptive to my many questions.
So, here we are - here and now. The pebble has dropped into the ocean and created wonderful ripples of expansion.
We'll keep you posted as we reach milestones in this voyage into parenthood, part 2!
