Fatherhood. That's not a word that I expected to apply to me right now, but it looks like it soon will. Thanks to Ashly's sister's, boyfriend's sister, it looks like we should have a baby in just under 3 weeks. Needless to say, this is not how I expected the adoption process to go. Normally it takes people years to adopt a child. It's taken us a few weeks.
Ashly told Sara about us after finding out that Sara was planning to give her child to an adoptive couple. Ashly first told us about it in early June, and we sent a letter and some pictures to her to share with Sara. Then she asked us for another letter. This was when we started to really buckle down on the paperwork. Then Ashly told us that Sara wanted to talk to us on the phone. We weren't sure if that was a no-no or not, but LDS Family Services said to go ahead. We called her on a Sat. afternoon, and during the course of that call, she told us that we were at the top of her short list. Woo Hoo!!!
