Well - taking off yesterday and today has helped tremendously in getting the paperwork done. Its almost ready to go. I feel like i can breathe again. And Mike has enjoyed having me cook for him for a change :)
Yesterday I talked about the support we feel from family and friends. i forgot the comments we get from complete strangers. When we got our fingerprints done - the lady was pretty excited and told us all about her experience in adoption. When we got our police checks done, the Sergeant told us all about a friend that has adopted (and gave us a bit of a deal). When Mike got his passport photos done, the clerk gave him a mitt full of coupons so we can have photos of our 'blessed one' developed for free. When he went to the passport office, the clerk was all excited. Its really neat to feel the support of the larger community.

Hey guys! Love reading the updates - bringing back lots of memories of going through those stages - your note about your future baby's birth mother brought tears to my eyes as I think about Maiya's birth family every day:o) ...hope you're enjoying the rollercoaster ride and glad to hear you're getting through the first rounds of paperwork!
Janice (& Brett & Maiya)
