It's About Bloody Time!

Today we found out that we have officially been approved to be parents. I am excited, don't get me wrong, but its about time!! I'm actually going to try my hardest not to say anything negative about my lovely caseworker right now. I really need to get past being ticked off at him....it'll happen soon. I just need to simmer down. A lot has happened since my last post about our paperwork, but I'll spare the details. The important thing is that its done. Now we truly are just waiting.
We are starting a "journal" for our future child. We bought it about a month or so ago and now we can really start. The point of it is to journal our journey to finding our child. Does that make sense? We just want our child to know how much we truly want(ed) and how much he/she is loved. We want them to always know that he/she was meant for us even though he/she came through another. He/she will understand what an unselfish act their birth mother performed by placing them for adoption not "giving them away"....giving he/she a chance at a life that their birth parents were unable to give them. I had this epiphany a while ago, I talked to Bubba about it and he actually said that he would write in it too. For example, when we get picked by the birth mom, meeting the birth mom, the phone call that birth mom is in labor etc etc. I think this journal will help our child in the future and it will help me right now going through everything. It's a win, win if you ask me. I must say, its a damn cute journal.....it is sooo me and Bubba. If I remember, I'll post a picture.
