It is a daily reminder of how fragile our beginnings are. Stay strong, hopeful, and happy. Having a newborn around is just about one of the coolest things in the entire world.

Gary scratched you because he sensed the evil ;) <q>Do you ever hear if anyone is interested or are you in the dark until you get The Big Call?</q> Our agency will notify us when they think a birthmother matches our preferences. The agency tells us a little bit about her and then we have to decide if we want to show her our family book or not. Basically we approve her, and then she has to approve us. If she picks us, we then meet her in person. After that, we both agree it's a good match and we then have the official stamp of approval. Isn't making babies sexy? @Brad Zimmerman: Pfft. Gary scratched you because he sensed the evil ;)

Do you ever hear if anyone is interested or are you in the dark until you get The Big Call?

BTW, our two cats make his little tantrums sound pretty nice. They've gotten really, really good at opening cabinet doors and they've been practicing that a lot. Plus the usual hairballs, running around at 3am and fighting with each other, etc. Oh and Paula never had Saphona spayed, so occasionally she gets REALLY friendly. I'll continue thinking good thoughts for you re the adoption stuff. Do you ever hear if anyone is interested or are you in the dark until you get The Big Call?
