Blogging through tears.

Okay, so first I have to say that the comments,phone calls and texts mean the world. Thank you for all of the love that is being sent our way. At this moment there are so many emotions that take place and are impossible to really explain in a way that makes any of you feel the extent of our happiness. I can only imagine that this is how most of the parents reading this felt at the first ultrasound that was during the safe time. 


All I have ever wanted in life is to be a mom. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be the person that was able to be there and help a little person grow and learn. The older I got and the struggles that I went through with fertility made that dream feel so far out of reach. Part of my "growing up goals" included being a mom before 30. As the months of been clicking along, I did not think it was going to happen. Turns out I was very wrong. 


So now there is the whats next question...and that is a little tricky because there are all kinds of laws for the protection of the child's privacy, our privacy and that of the foster family. So to start we will go and meet V next week and then we start regular visits. When those are going well then we will get an overnight. Our hope is that he transitions well enough to move home at winter break.


After he is with us for five months then we can petition the court to adopt him. To clear up any worries now he is being placed as an adoption placement. Mostly that part is just all of the legal changes of an adopted child. 


The important part is that we get to meet him  and play with him and establish a relationship that brews in your heart the second you learn about them. We are going to be parents!! I am pretty sure that the hearing the word mom and dad is going to make me cry for a few days at very least.




Here are the things we have learned so far:
1. He is five.
2. He loves all things with wheels.
3. He is great eater and not picky (thank goodness)
4. The school bus is the highlight of the day.
5. That he will be the most important part of our universe.


Life is full of blessings.
