Subject: Holy crap...I've got some news!!!

I have the most amazing news that I wanted to share with you guys!!!!  Darren and I have been chosen by a birth mom in Kamloops to adopt her baby!!!!!!!  We are (crossed fingers) going to be parents!!!!!!  Holy crap!

We have been waiting to adopt from China for over a year now, and the wait is getting longer and longer.  So just last month we put ourselves on the domestic registry here in BC and we go the phone call yesterday.  Woooo hoooooo!!!!!!!!

The baby is due on April 15th, and we hopefully will be able to talk with the birth mom next week.  I really just wanted to share this awesome news with the awesome friends here at BCBT!

Thanks for reading

Heather

Congrats!  I have some friends that are in the same process right now.  They are having problems having them on their own, so they are trying the same route!

Congrats again!

Awe...you guys are awesome   thanks so much for the well wishes.  I will definitely keep you posted.  We are going to be talking to the birth mom for the first time on Tuesday, and I'm nervous already.  I mean, what if she thinks I suck?  Here is me, being totally paranoid.

 

hahahaha, Darren said "so, does this mean you aren't doing IMC now?"  Ya right!  Game on!  I can go into it sleep deprived, can't I?  doesn't everyone?

Don't be nervous, just let her know your a triathlete and she definitely won't think you suck!!

What, no , no parent ever gets sleep deprived!!!

 You can do it easy...just make him get up and do split shifts....that way you get atleast 6 hours of sleep anight...(thats on a good one mind you)

Wow....she won't think you suck at all....just be yourself and you will do fine.
