My really good friend, and principal, just had her baby yesterday! I had the opportunity to go to the hospital after school and visit her and her sweet little baby. Oh my gosh, was he adorable! He had this little smirk on his face, and he looked so content and happy. It was so interesting to see how something can be inside you one moment, and then the next they are this huge part of your life. I know that she will be a wonderful mom, and I can't wait to see how they interact. Holding that new little baby only confirmed to me that I am ready to care for a child of my own. Ben will be such a proud dad when that day comes!

Well, it seemed like a forever wait, but we are finally certified to adopt. Yay! It has been such a reality check to know that at any moment someone could choose us to raise their child. We could not be more excited! All of the work that we have done so far has been well worth it. Through filling out all the adoption paperwork and questionnaires, we have discovered so much more about each others personalities, goals, hopes, and dreams. This journey has been wonderful, and we can only hope that it continues to go so well!
