ABC's

Well, the DNA is done. So we are getting really close now. It's weird after waiting for so long, truthfully some days wondering what was really going to happen. I have no great words tonight. I just wanted to say hello.

A few days ago though, I did sort of start coming up with some ABC's of our adoption experience. It's very random, but that in itself perhaps can give a quick glimpse into the ride this has been. Some of it is general, some of it is our feelings, some is how we view the agency, some are steps in the process.
