It’s On.

So here we go.

It still doesn’t quite feel real, that we’re about to do this.

All my life, I’ve longed to be a Daddy, and now … well, I will be within the year (in a fashion).

This evening we’re mailing the paperwork to Carolina Hope Adoption Agency and officially beginning the “paper pregnancy”.

We’re not really pregnant, of course…and nobody is likely to celebrate with us in the same way…but it feels like we are. I can’t even begin to describe how deeply moved I’ve been as I’ve thought and prayed about what it will be to bring two young daughters home. And though Sara’s body won’t be shouting to the world: “BABY ON THE WAY!”, our spirits are bursting.

We’re just so happy.

Undoubtedly, the bumps in the road will come. And let ‘em. For now…today, October 21, 2007, we conceived.
