We just sent in all of the paperwork. They should receive it on Monday. All of our bureaucratic registry forms were sent in too. I royally messed up the fingerprints, though. Hopefully it can be straightened out, but we may have to do that over again.
I know this might actually happen, but I feel strangely unattached from this. T says I'm just protecting myself. That's probably true, but I keep thinking how what I'm currently doing will have to work differently not so long from now. Maybe.
But the paperwork is in and we'll soon be on record as the prospective adoptive parents of a baby.
We have to find a name....
Life as an adoptive family.
My Story
- Rachel
- 4 miscarriages, 3 failed IVFs with PGD, 2 different sperm donors, 1 diagnosis of balanced translocation. Now we are the proud parents of a boy via domestic infant semi-open adoption. We had a failed match for kid #2 and are now matched again.

One step closer!
[Hugs!] and [small SQUEE!]
This is a huge step! I can understand your detachment - it may well be a defense mechanism like T said. That makes a lot of sense to me - you've been through a lot of disappointments in life. Hang in there - this might well be it!
I read your blog often.. I am so rooting for you and T!
I'm so happy and excited for you!!! {{hugs}}
I've been reading for quite some time, got to you from Stacie at here storkey. Will keep praying as you move one step closer.
Thinking of you!
Oh wow! How exciting...but I can understand the need to protect your heart. My thoughts are with you and fingers are crossed that this is truly it!
