It’s a completion. Not completion as in an end but completion as in Jerry McGuire you complete me…as in this is what we have been missing, what we were meant to do. I can’t even explain the joy that I feel about our decision. I am bubbling at the fact that this is the path our life is leading us down. Some might say given the course of events in our life that we have chosen adoption as a second choice, as a replacement or even a weird twist on an infertility treatment. NOT TRUE. It is just a perfect fit. A direction that life has taken us, a beautiful path that life has presented us with and a BIG YES from our hearts!!! This is a chapter we were meant to create in our lives. And to be honest we weren’t always here, we didn’t always see it as a viable option for our family, a fit we could feel. But life, the crazy aspects of life that continually change you and shape you into the person you are each day, that life, has brought us here…and we are HAPPY. Some may not understand it, some may not ‘feel’ it the way we do, and that is OK because we know it is right. We have put a lot of ourselves into this decision and feel vulnerable about the whole process. It is scary to think that this is now out of our hands, and the emotions involved are insane. I cannot even fathom being on the other side of this adoption and while I am longing for the baby I can feel all around me, my heart is pinched for the amazing woman who will be bring such an amazing gift into the world. How do you express that type of gratitude??? We have only taken a few steps in our journey and yet I am filled with so many questions.

I get what you're saying. I really do. I come from a different place, but I feel like the place I came from is what put adoption in my heart a long, long time ago. I'm so very happy for your family and for the joy you're experiencing. I can feel it in your words. Congrats again!P.S. I'm totally nosey. Ask Kelley. I'm really impressed that I was able to hold back and wait for you to post it! :)
