What is new in the Owen world...well lots really. On Monday we received another email asking if we would like to interview for a little a boy V who is 5. It is really exciting to think that we are moving forward slowly but surely towards being parents. After reading the limited information about V we have decided that we wanted to be in the interview group for him.
I never in my life thought we could get so excited over something like an email that asks if we even want to interview for a child. There are no dates set as of yet, but we are anxiously anticipating the call/email for the next steps.
The other big news/ change is that we have decided to move. This is not one of my classic moves that involve going somewhere far. We will still in the same city and just downsizing a little. Like most families when you find out that you are expecting, it becomes a time to prepare your home, finances and life in general. Because the majority of the children that we are considering have special needs, we want to be able to make their lives incredible. I have always wanted to stay home and raise children. The way we currently live is without a doubt like two people with no children and time on our hands. We have not decided on a new place but will be looking starting tomorrow.
Lots of changes going on and most of them are positive. It is very easy to get tied down into the technical parts of life that we forget to enjoy the moments in between. Our hope is that the plan of downsizing gives us a chance to reconnect more to each other and less to the outside interference's. We have incredible family and friends, with that being said, we would like more time with all of you. So wish us luck as we scale it back and grow all at the same time.
Welcome to our small corner of the blogging world. This is a way for us to keep family updated on what is happening with our adoption journey and life.
