Never Say Never

/ Dawn Kasal-Finley

I have been talking for weeks and weeks about being done with babies.  I was certain for a time that we were.  Can you see where this is going?  Chances are good that hubby and I will embark on one last infant adoption from Ethiopia.  I hope to have our dossier done and ready to send to Ethiopia in April/May–with the way things are going at our agency that should give us a new baby home in the spring/summer of 2010. 

While I want more than three kids–it’s a good compromise for us between hubby’s two and my four.  It will also allow us to really pursue an older child adoption (preteen or teen) when our first children are a little older.  We considered waiting and adopting a toddler/preschooler sibling group when Noah reached 4 but we don’t want to switch agencies (not even a consideration) and our agency doesn’t get many toddler/preschool age kids or young sibling groups (under age 5).  We haven’t committed or filled out the application yet, but we are going to soon. 

Back to my regularly scheduled end of semester melt-down and back to posting some real things–like kids newsletters for last month on Tuesday….

  2. OMG…so happy for you and a bit envious too. We’ll hopefully be finally paperchasing this spring after Donald graduates from the academy, so maybe we’ll be somewhere in the process together again!

  7. Yeah…so exciting. We will be waiting a couple of years to apply again so I will be closely following your journey through blog land. It doesn’t seem right that we won’t be in process with you.
