I haven't written much since our decision to adopt.  I keep telling myself I need to post something, but then I can't think of anything to talk about.

I feel like I'm getting into unfriendly waters when I think about my feelings on adoption.  Like people will be so much more critical of what we're doing/how we're doing it.  I don't know why I feel that way.  Maybe it's just a hangup that I have and nobody else would even think of.

We have been working on all of our paperwork to submit to our agency.  Once that is all done then I think we can start the homestudy.  All that is left is our financial statement and our autobiographies.  I'm almost done with mine and DH is working on his.  I need to get on it and finish it this week.

Our fundraising is going well.  You can visit the other blog to check it out.  www.newsonnix.blogspot.com.  If you're an amazon shopper, click on the banner at the top of that blog and shop through that.  We get a portion of the purchase price.

I'm also thinking about getting a second job to help come up with some of the money.  I worked retail all throughout high school and college.  I won't say the name of the store, but it had three B's.  I'm sure you can guess.  Anyway, my old manager is now the manager of another 3 B store, but one that deals in baby stuff.  Again, you can probably figure it out.  I don't know why I'm being so obscure about it.  Anyway, I'm going to check with him and see if he'd be willing to hire me to work nights and weekends.  I'm thinking one night a week and Saturday and Sunday.  It would suck, but it would be extra cash going straight into savings, plus a discount on baby stuff which would come in handy.

So that's where we stand right now.
