It is official! On May 1, we mailed our application to adopt from South Korea. We are very excited! We are told the process can take about 9 - 12 months, which Nathan says is a perfect gestational period for us since we seem to take things slow (dating for 7 years). This blog is a place you can check in our progress.
We can't wait to get our baby home. We have not stated a preference for gender, although our chances of getting a boy are greater from South Korea. We have no girl names picked out - so Nathan's Mom says that means we will get a girl.
Our families are excited for us. My Mom and nieces can hardly resist a shopping spree. Mom says they talk about this baby all the time. She keeps reminding them that this will be a long process, but they keep finding cute baby things that the "baby" needs. Mom told them that we don't know if it is a boy or a girl or how old the baby will be. Brooklyn's response "Grammy, everyone starts out as a baby."
We will keep you posted (pun intended).

Love it! I need to get one of those slide shows on my blog! We are so excited for you both and this journey you are embarking on. And what a journey it will be. We all love you and can't wait to see you in a few days! Many prayers for you, for your preparation, and for the baby that will soon come your way!
You made a pregnant lady cry!!!! :) I am so happy for you. You will both be such great parents. God already has your little one picked out, and I can't wait to meet him or her. I know that many blessings are on the way!
I'm so glad to hear that you guys are starting. I'll be checking in often to see what's happening. I'm glad we didn't scare you off! What agency are you using? Well, here's to a quick and smooth process!
Love the post and it will be a great way to encourage you two through out this process!
I am sooo excited for the two of you. I can't wait to see what God does through this journey and I can't wait to meet and hold the future "little" Williams. Just wait....we are going to teach him/her some bad things as a pay back to Nathan :) Just kidding! Love you both!!
