a funny thing happened on the trip this past week. i was informed that we are adopting a child. i didn't say anything back, because well....i think my mouth had dropped on the floor permanently.
we were in the family house and t says, "well, when we adopt our baby from china (i can't finish this sentence because after these words were uttered, i have no idea what was said next)..."
then, fortunately, we also have the good graces to be friends with a couple that has adopted themselves....two times and ended up with some fantastic stories and unbelievable kids. we got an earful this weekend about things about adoption, videos to watch, agencies, etc.
i looked up the regulations and really, all it made me do was to realize how incredibly phenomenal the couple we know are. we knew that they were good and upstanding people, but wow, the requirements are above and beyond what i ever thought when i worked in the field myself. Honestly, 90% of my friends wouldn't qualify for an adoption.
