It’s not official yet. There is still some paper work to be done and some hoops to jump through, but the adoption peeps are recommending our application be approved.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
I will say this was by far the MOST humiliating experience of my life to have my personality ripped apart in front of a group of strangers and my husband. Turns out I really am bat shit crazy.
But not the ‘throw me into a padded room and wrestle with the straight jacket’ variety of crazy.
More the ‘control freak, aggressive, chew your faces off and eat your young, strong personality’ type of crazy.
I’ll take it.
Oh, and the adoption peeps know about the blog.
Ya. Good times. Nothing like digging your own grave and eating a little crow.
Let’s all say hello and thank you to the nice ladies who I have mocked and terrorized over the course of the year, shall we?
I now think they shoot rainbows and sunbeams out their backsides.
I’m nothing if not fickle. But I’ll write more about that later, when I’ve recovered from my humiliation and come down from my euphoric high of being told I’m gonna be a mommy again.
With no morning sickness, hemorrhoids or swollen belly.
Don’t hate on me all you pregnant ladies.
I’m crazy. The report said so.
And thank you once again, for all the well wishes, support and emails you have sent me. It kept me warm and fuzzy as I rocked back and forth and listened to just how certifiable the athletically trim and charming psych dude thought I was.

Staci Hyun
Congradulations!!!! What fantastic news. I am thrilled for all of you.
Bennie
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve checked your blog about 40 times since yesterday given that I was more nervous than a chihuahua in a Korean deli. Crazy parents make good parents. I should know.
Jan
Just…..Yay!!!!!!

T, wonderful, wonderful news. You crazy? Are they nuts? How could they think a clean, wholesome, fun-loving, attention and loving mother could be bat-shit crazy? Doesn’t everyone have tats and nipple-piercings? No, so oh well.
On a more personal note, I really am so very glad for you and Boo, and Fric and Frac, that I really don’t know what to say. I’m sure the process will go much faster now and you will have your new baby before the end of the year. Won’t that be a super Christmas present???
Much love, L. ooxxoo
Bon
yay! i’ve been checking obsessively for, like, fifteen hours now, you know.
beaming for you. beaming.
that child will be so blessed, and so loved.
Lisa
Yay! That’s awesome. I don’t even know you except through this blog but I was all set to be really pissed off if you weren’t approved. Congratulations!
Jen
I too have been obsessively checking for updates. True I don’t know you from adam and you don’t know me but in my own way I am ELATED for you and your family. Words just can’t express how wonderful it is that you are going to be a mommy to some child who needs it so badly. Really to quote Jan…Just…Yay!!!
Boomom
WAAAAAAA-HOOOOOOOOO!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m sitting here with tears in my eyes ( at work – I can blame it on allergies or better yet, diesel fumes…) Have been hitting refresh like a mad woman since I came in…
Of COURSE they approved you – THEY would have been the crazy ones if they hadn’t !!
This Texas mama is sooo wishing you a new family member to arrive SOON !!!

I KNEW IT! You’re the best T….and it’s hard for that NOT to show.
CONGRATULATIONS!
I feel like having a “baby” shower for you! Hard prayers pay off!
Yay to you, Boo & Fric/Frac. The new addition will love you to pieces.
