We're now officially approved to be adoptive parents :D The process took almost 6 months and it seems like it took forever. Now we're officially waiting for our little one, but at least that part is done, and we actually got a good excuse to start buying baby stuff :D

My brother and his partner has started this process. He's very nervous about it... and I thought adopting Mojo was hard! ;)

Congrats.

That baby will be so blessed !!!! When I think of all the unwanted births and the waiting arms, it hurts me so ! Are you going with the dice, or requesting certain things ??

Thanks guys :)

We're asking for a baby from newborn to 4 months. It's more likely to be newborn though. Grammy, we asked a baby whose birthmother doesn't use drugs nor drinks. We don't have the experience for it. Plus we want to keep contact with the first parents so we would just not be comfortable being in contact with someone who drank or did drugs while pregnant... just things we strongly disapprove of.

We made a profile and we had to fill in a paper with what we're looking for, and we're bringing it to the agency tomorrow. So after that, it will just depend on when we are picked, which could be tomorrow or in 2 years.
