adoption madness

I started this blog to keep everyone posted on our adoption process. Here is the latest info on the Autry front.

We got a call from our adoption agency on Tuesday. She had received our application and was calling to schedule a meeting. We have a meeting scheduled for Tuesday at 6:00 (phone call chalked up to success.)

I'm sure I'll have lots to post after the meeting, because as of now I am still uncertain about how all of this works. So I'll keep you posted.

In the meantime, I have a girl name picked out, we are still discussing boy names. I lean a little towards names that are, shall we say, out there. I was bound and determined if it was a boy we should name him Israel. Jamie had to put his foot down. Needless to say, it is still up in the air. I feel that it is imperative to pick names out early. We do want lots of items embroidered. This is obviously of the utmost importance.

I have the color schemes picked out for each gender. I have already decided where each piece of furniture will go in the nursery. I am what you would call, a tee itty bit, EXCITED.

I have to run. I have to research parenting methods online. We might not have much time here people.

The adventure has begun

The Autry family has taken the first step in our adoption process. We have filled out our initial application and it is going into the mail today. WhooHoo. We are both excited and scared. We know this is going to be a long and very involved process. We are praying for God's strength and guidance.
I have created this blog to keep everyone updated on our status. You can check in here to find out the latest news on our quest to parenthood.
I hope you stop by often to see how this great adventure is unfolding
Love to you all
