I got to meet Henry!



Today, I got to meet Henry (and his mom). Henry was adopted last year from Reece's Rainbow. His mom and I are facebook friends and we've been following each other's blogs. I met up with him and his mom at Cracker Barrel for lunch.


It was so nice to chat with someone who understands things like:

*Just waiting for the final homestudy approval from DCFS....

*My I-800A is ready and waiting...

*My Dossier is almost done....

*I have no idea where I'm going to get the rest of the money I need....

*I've done a Give Away and now I'm doing a Puzzle Fundraiser....


And someone who can answer questions like:

*Why not adopt domestically?

*Why a child with special needs?

*How can you afford this?

*How can you be so in love with someone you've never met?


There are some other RR moms in the area. Sadly, they couldn't make it today but I look forward to getting together with the whole group---and introducing them to Sara!

  3. What a sweetie! It sounds like we're about at the same place in the process you are...although Canada is a slightly different process. we're done with our home study and Dossier next week. I'll be glad to be onto the next phase!
    p.s I get asked those same questions!! If I were to give you my quick answers it would be something like...
    I am
    Why not?
    I can't
    I have no idea
