Amy, You are sooo good to get your sleep now ... save up!! HA! I'll be at the April 1 lunch and hope you will, too. I can't wait to hear your excitement increase after you go through orientation!!

Heartfelt congratulations, Bruce and Dyanna! Can't wait to meet her in person.....you'll have to come to MAMS or Hearts for Adoption so we can all see her!

I'm really, really enjoying it. I wish I had done like the author suggested and read it with a buddy so I could talk about it. I've talked and talked to Bob about it since I started it --- he finally started reading it last night.

Amy, This is going to be such a wonderful, exciting time for you! If you need any help, advice or want to vent, please feel free. And don't you worry about the dog ...we had three babies (recently lost one to cancer) and they adjusted just fine to Katharine.

I'm currently reading that, am on chapter 11. We are using the season to study that book and grow. So far, it is wonderful and very eye-opening. I am striving to improve, myself.

Yipeeeee, Kenneth and Mary!!! HUGS and HUGS to you, mom and dad !!!! We are sooo excited for both of you! I could hear him in the background when you called and I can't wait to see pictures and hold that precious child .... your son! Enjoy your time as a FAMILY in TX. Can't wait to see you all when you get back.

Welcome, Amy!!! It's great to have another couple from Memphis on board!! There are SEVERAL of us from the Memphis area on the forum, so ask away ... we're all just so shy about answering! HA! And check out the Hearts for Adoption group that meets at Christ United Methodist .... some of us drop in periodically. Orientation will change your life. Welcome to the journey that is open adoption. Can't wait to watch your journey unfold!

What a wonderful story!!! Congratulations on the new addition to your family!
