Somehow these conversations can be so difficulty to have with loved ones initially, but once that door is opened, it is an amazing sense of freedom to speak of your dreams and anicipations. Best wishes and you continue your preparations!

I probably have more that never made it to the blog. Feel free to drop me a line and I can dig them out.

Signing with Sasha has been such a joy for us and between the language barrier and her cleft palate, signing gave us a huge leg up on communication even when the sounds weren't going to happen.

We just kept telling each other that the original reasons we chose adoption hadn't changed and that God was preparing us even now for our little one. It was an intense time!

I am so, so glad that our blog has been encouraging to you and Gary. Kaz and adoption are truly the adventures that you make them! If you have any offline questions or if we can help at all, feel free to email at morningstarje at gmail dot com

You guys are doing great – these doubts and worries are healthy and prepare you for the ups *and* downs of the coming months and years.
