Just to let everyone know where we are in the process... Yesterday we mailed off our contract to our adoption agency along with a check for the first round of agency fees. We went ahead and mailed a check to adopt 2 children. BUT, with that, we are allowed to change our minds up until the completion of our home study. So, realistically we have a couple months before we have to decide for sure.
One or Two? We don't know how to decide. How do you make a decision when you have no previous experience in it, don't know anyone who's done it, and have zero guarantee that any of it will work out? We have listed pros and cons and really have thought through almost every single scenario. We don't know. At some point we are going to have to just make the decision and go with it. Just jump.
Boy or Girl? 75% of orphans in Africa are boys--at least that's what we've heard. I think that in my mind I picture us with a boy. But, then again, a girl would be great. After all, Abigail is already studying hair to figure out how to fix her sister's. Maybe I really picture us with both. I do picture us with both....eventually.
Anyways... I love this picture of Parker and Abigail when we went to mail our contract. I LOVE involving them in the process. They bring a lot of fun to these decisions.
