We have taken a major step and have signed our paperwork! We have a few other small steps to take before we can send the paperwork into the adoption agency, but we hope to do those things this weekend. Nathan kind of chuckled when he had to sign next to "adoptive father." His comment was "Imagine me, a Dad!" Well, I have and I know he will be a great one! I don't worry about his ability at all!
Here is an example of they types of paperwork we had to complete. We had to designate a guardian for our children should something happen to us, we had to prove we were born and married, we had to state what type of discipline we would use with our children, we have to take child and infant CPR and read books about adoptive parenting, we had to complete paperwork that shows our financial situation and we had to have references. This list only scratches the surface. It is a lot of work, but when they hand us that child and say "He's yours," it will be worth it.
Hope you all have a great week!

What if they say, "She's yours"? Congratulations for your progress. I know you're getting excited. We are, too.
It could happen...we don't know what we'd call her...Owena or Owenetta?
You guys will both make great parents!! Congrats on this step!
Whew. It's a mess, huh? Congrats on getting this far!
