Almost there... just a few more pieces of paperwork to gather together and we will officially be put on the waitlist... for TWINS!
After a lot of thinking, and through the thick of the adoption paperwork, Lucas and I seriously began considering adopting 2 children. We discussed with our adoption agency and found that we were only approved for ages 0-2 years through our home study. So, without a lot of extra paperwork to expand the age range so we could find siblings in Ethiopia, we decided to request twins. We thought this could slow the process down for finding a match- but it turns out that there is an abnormally high rate of twins in Ethiopia, and that we could even be matched sooner than waiting for a single child. I won't hold my breath on that, but knowing the wait time wouldn't be significantly different was good news.
Yes, we may be crazy.
I think there is a fine line between "crazy" and "brave". Probably won't know which until well into the future...but I'm banking on the latter.
