Finally I have some time to update you. The first day back in the office was hell. There is so much to do on the work front now. But I managed to finally see my desktop again... Who knows how long.
When my hubby picked me up at the airport on Sunday, he told me a story that sounds amazing. He told me that a friend of ours had talked about us with her work colleague. He has some older children in college and a four-year-old. They are thinking about adopting. This colleague obviously was approached by a man about adoption. This man is the uncle to a young man who is the ex boy-friend of a girl he has gotten pregnant. Are you still with me? It sounds complicated just reading it... The pregnant girl doesn't seem to care about the baby and was persuaded by her ex boy-friends family to carry it to term. Her family doesn't seem to be involved at all. Now the family of the ex boy-friend is looking for a family to adopt this baby. The colleague of my friend and his wife have been praying about it. The wife feels like see would rather adopt an older child. So now they are praying whether they should introduce us to the uncle of the ex boy-friend. I wonder what God tells them.
I don't know what to make about this. It sounds very vague to me and we don't know enough to be on the safe side with this. So I told my husband: "I don't want to get excited about this. I want to guard my heart!" It would be fantastic if it would work out, but we don't know enough about this situation.
Tomorrow we are meeting our social worker for the first time. I am very excited about meeting her. While I was gone, she was really busy. She talked to all of our references on the phone or in person... WOW! That is fantastic. At least, now we can go ahead a little bit.
Angelina Jolie is now definitely pregnant again. There were rumors for months, but this picture is the proof. We really need to get going now. She and Brad Pitt have a head start on us with soon 5 (or 6, in case it's twins), it will take us a while to catch up...

Yoka, I am glad your social worker was getting things done the entire time you were away. That is good then things can really get moving now. About the other situation, like you said, just be careful. Ask questions about all the logistics and everything. Good luck with everything. (new results just in on my blog. Go on over if you have a chance.)
Wow -- what a lot to come back to!
Cautiously optimistic. That's what I am.
Yay for your social worker. It's about time the agency got on the ball!
You are right to be cautious, but it is so hard not to get a little excited at the same time.
Can't wait to hear how your first meeting goes!!
Good luck with the meeting, hope this all works out
