I wish I could say that about all of the projects on my list, but this one is just as good! Our adoption profile got posted just a few weeks ago on the LDS adoption website, right next to 965 other couples. Since we were told it takes awhile for anything to happen, we haven't been expecting anything.
Friday night Adam and I went on a super fun date by ourselves. Adam's company paid for us to go out to dinner, and then we snuck into a hotel pool and hot tub :) It was like being in high school all over again! It was an outdoor pool and we had it all to ourselves, possibly because it's only March and Arizonans are wimps in the 80 degree temperatures.
Anyway...we got home that night and like always I checked my email. To our great surprise there was an email from a girl saying she was looking for a family to place her baby boy with and our profile caught her eye! She is in contact with several other couples, and chances are nothing will come of it, but it's great knowing that we can be found and learning a little more about how the process all works. Right now we've just sent a few emails back and forth, trying to get to know each other a little bit.
I've wondered what it would be like getting that first email. It was so exciting, but also a little heartbreaking knowing that she will be having to make such a difficult decision. She sounds like such an amazing girl (I think she's about my age) and I can't even imagine what she is going through. It really puts it into perspective to think about what someone will be sacrificing for us to one day have a child. It's a very humbling experience. I'll keep you up to date on the journey we've just started, the thing called the "Rollercoaster" of adoption.
