Well, we're taking the leap!

Hubby and I will be attending an international adoption informational meeting through Children's Home Society in March. We have discussed it at length and have decided, despite family pressures to the contrary, that we want to add to our family. No-one seems to understand that even though we have 4 children, it is possible to feel "not done". For years I have felt as though I had another child out there somewhere. DH is in agreement with me on this also. Thankfully, my aunt (who adopted from Korea twice) is very supportive and has offered assistance in any way possible. The kids are psyched and I am hoping that this all goes smoothly. Right now, we are leaning toward Ethiopia or Guatemala but are open to whatever may come along. Wish us luck!
