I've been keeping a secret and it has been killing me not being able to share. We are adopting a four year old little girl. I can't give too many details right now because it isn't finalized yet. She is currently in foster care, but the birth mother has relinquished her rights to us. She will be spending weekends with us and on June 12th we have a court hearing at which time we will be granted full custody. I wish I could share some pictures because she is freaking adorable. We spent time with her last weekend and we all had a blast. She is the girliest of girls and is obsessed with princesses and barbies (lord help me). Her birthday in early June so we get to throw a birthday party! As soon as we are able to share details I will be back with pictures and all the fun stuff. Until then we will be running around like crazy trying to get our house ready for a four year old!

That is wonderful news! Four year olds are adorable, and you're in for an exciting (and no doubt stressful, but fun too) time.

Congratulations!!

A guy from my office adopted a three-year-old last year. She was a little behind her nursery school classmates in terms of development (alphabet, etc.), but she is doing great -- he is one proud papa. ; )
