Getting it done.....

Lots to do this week. Stay tuned and again thank you for all the support. 

We finished our two day workshop so excited for our next steps.

Adoption workshop

We are getting great information today! The only thing is our list of to do's is getting longer. The competitive person in me is Coming out. 

Our Next Step begins Tomorrow

Brent and I start our two day Adoption workshop tomorrow. We both are just so happy right now and at the same time it is so surreal. We have been planning this process for so many years and the fact that we can actually say we are in the process is just amazing. It is so crazy how much information is needed to complete our home study to get ready for birth mothers to reach out to us. We are staying focused and we both just keep smiling because we know the end result will be our family finally getting started. Thank you to all our family and friends everyone has been so support and it truly means the world to us. This really shows us how we have so many great people in our life and we can’t wait for them to meet our new little one.

Autobiography

It is really tough writing an autobiography about my life. But I have been going back to childhood and teen years in my head. I am thinking of things I have not thought of in years so in a way I feel this is great process thinking about my childhood. I get to think about family and friends who have come in and out of my life and also it is making me think of my future child’s life and all the experiences they will have as they grow up. I am so excited to see my child for the first time.

Doug and Brent - Ready get set go!

Hello Everyone! Well we are officially starting our open adoption process. It is so surreal for us right now. We have been wanting to start a family for years now and we finally can see light at the end of the tunnel. I know that we are going to have so many of ups and downs and if I know me I am just going to have to learn that it is going to take time and take it day by day. One thing I can say is that being a dad is something we both have always wanted and I know our life is going to change in so many ways and we are ready and we will take on all new experiences as they come. Thank you to everyone for joining us in our journey and I look forward to your comments and thoughts as we go through this process.
