Networking!!!!

Hello all... Thanks to everyone subscribing to our Blog... I hope it really gets the word out for us that we are in search of a Birthmother.... This Networking thing is fun but alot of work... I've been meeting alot of really awesome people over the last month... I can't wait to meet more of you out there..I really don't have much to say today so I guess I'll catch up with everyone later...

Here's a couple of pics of the snow that fell at our Home March 1st... This is the most snow we've had in this house for almost 6 years...

The Kid

"The Kid" by Dan Savage was a very good book for people wanting to adopt especially for gay men in the adopting process. It gives their process in open adoption. It deals with a lot of issues from dealing with the birth mother who did drugs and drank, to the birth father who suddenly appears. It also tackles issues of talking to friends and family about what is going on. It starts with them attending their weekend session all the way to their child's first birthday. I am not a huge reader when it comes to reading things at home. But I found myself really enjoying this book. It had some strong language used, but nothing most homosexuals have not heard before. I found myself laughing at some of things and feeling sad in other parts. So I totally recommend this book especially if you have an agency that requires you to read two books. I would tell you to choose this book as one of your required two.
Now I must head to bed. I took Friday off and Monday was a snow day so I have to get my rest to deal with my 28 little ones tomorrow-If they do not make me change my mind about adoption nothing will!-Chad

Snow Day !!!!!!!!

We got about 5 inches here and it pretty much shuts everything down... School was out for Chad so he finished the book called The Kid... He's almost finished with it so I'll start it tonight then dish on it for everyone...It was required reading for us through our adoption agency Independent Adoption Center www.adoptionhelp.org ...... Chad's all excited to have read a book in 24hrs..It's only 250 some page's so I guess that's good.. We need to get started on our Dear Birth Mother letter soon... We really don't want the process to slow down at all....We've covered alot of ground pretty fast and keeping that momentum is crucial... SO to all of you Blogger's out there We are getting ready to hit your Dear Birth Mom letter's pretty hard LOL.. S if u see us log on like 500 time's you will know why... I just hope that the agency will just Love what we've come up with.... My Sister has an English major so maybe we can talk her into helping us.. Thanks for all of the encouragement from all of you and Please Keep the Suggestion's Coming... We Really Love That....

Now The Waiting Begin's

So now we've completed the Weekend Intensive in Atlanta and are now home,Heads spinning and shivering from the cold snow that is falling really hard and fast.. So Much Info OMG!!!!!!!! And so many decsion's to make about what we are able to accept in our live's.... I'm thrilled we have moved to the next level... Just can't believe it got here so fast.. Like I've said in earlier post's we were able to complete the first round of paperwork for home study , and it felt great to hear from adoption person in class say oh you guy's already did that and the rest of the class needs to do it .. We are on Top of it...So now like I said we wait for Home Study person and wait for approval for that.. And of course Dear Birthmother letter writing begin's.. They called off school for Chad tomorrow cause of freak snowstorm here so maybe we can really focus on that tomorrow.. It sounds like so much.. And kinda Overwhelming knowing who is gonna read this.. We'll just have to take it one word at a time...Any suggestion's ????

The End of Weekend Intensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We Met with 2 Wonderful Guy's Tonight withing the Same Agency we are apart of now as of this weekend.... William and John... Two great Guy's that so Deserve a Beautiful Baby Soon... We wish you both all of the Blessing's from Up Above.... They turned us onto a resturant called Wild Fire... Great Place.. And the Lighting is so Gay Friendly... That might make some of you laugh but it was so soft and warm so any flaws anyone might have are totally erased..LOL.. I know I'm a Freak... Botox can't cure all but it does get really close...But our evening with this Wonderful Couple was filled with great conversation's about what we dealt with in our Weekend Intensive and other subject's we've not been able to talk to with other's on the same journey as we are.... That was Very Refreshing... I Probably talked way to much but We both had so much info floating around in our heads that it all kinda came out... Sorry William and John ...But I'm gettin a bit sleepy so I'll catch u all up on the rest of ourInfo filled weekend.. Huggs and Luv 2 all... Jason and Chad....
