Adoption Agency Picnic

Eric and I went to our first picnic last night that is held by our homestudy agency here in Madison. We got to meet several families who have used the same agency we are using in Georgia, as well as a couple just beginning their application. It was great to hear their stories and imagine what our scenario will be like when we get chosen. Most of the couples were chosen within a week of their application, so we are a little different in that respect, but they said the agency is great and the care families that the infants are placed in after birth are really nice. Apparently we travel to the area of Georgia where the care family lives, so it could be anywhere. We then get a hotel room near the care family and stay for about a week.
Everyone's babies were sooo adorable and I can't wait for next year's picnic when we will have our little one to bring.

WE COULD BE CHOSEN REALLY SOON!!

Just got an update from our adoption agency...there are around 23 families in their waiting pool. Of those, 11 requested a girl (we are open to gender) and only three (including us) are childless. So, she said we have a very good chance of being chosen soon, and it looks like we will probably get a boy! I am soooo excited and can't wait for the call!!! :)
