You all should know that this is going to take us a lot longer than our first adoption, so be prepared (I think I'm trying to prepare myself here). First, we are finishing Micah's re-adoption, so that is a priority right now. (I think we're just waiting for a court date, so it should be finished soon.) And, we still have to pick an agency - I'm making a spreadsheet. (SO much different than our first time around - we went to CHI, loved them and said, "This is it!") And we are requesting a girl, so the wait time for our referral will be much longer. One agency was quoting referral times as 10 months for a girl and 3 months for a boy! Wow. Big difference. But, right now, we're okay with that. It will make for the perfect gap in ages between Micah and his little sister. That's actually why we're starting now - we know we want our kids to be close in age (we have always said this) and if we start now, they will be somewhere around 2 1/2 years apart. (If all goes according to plan - hahahaha.) So, that's where we're at - still the beginning! I'll let you know when we've made some progress!
And, of course, what is a post without pictures, right? Here are Micah and two of his BFFs playing on a slip-n-slide. (Yep, we have one of those. I know - classy right? :)
This was the first day we had it - we didn't even bother with swim diapers, so in a matter of minutes all three boys had expanding nappies. And then we had three naked boys on the slip-n-slide.
If you can click to make this one larger - Micah's face is priceless...
I love this one because Micah is just sitting at the bottom wondering what is going on...
Good times people, good times. :) 
I love Micah's face...we will have to get a slip-n-slide when Pacey decides to crawl!! She loves the water!!!
ReplyDeleteHe is just one fun kid!

ReplyDeletewhat a fun time that was for the boys :) Can't wait to follow the whole journey this time around...you know you were my first ETH adoption blog I stumbled upon a year ago right at this time.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making the decision to start the second adoption! I know, through reading other posts of yours, that you seemed to be thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a good idea of how long it's going to take, so that's good. Going in with a reasonable estimate is ALWAYS helpful. :)
And, I love Slip-n-Slides. Can't say I've seen one in about...oh,...20 years (has it been that long?!).
Here's to finalizing Micah's re-adoption and beginning the journey to your daughter!!!
