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.

Short-time reader, but I’m catching up–I’ve been reading backwards, right now I’m involved with Jan ’07, reading about the adoption folks.
Happy for you and yours. I hope you get your new bundle of joy soon.
Karly
Yay!! So happy for you guys! Congrats!
Kyla
Oh T. That is WONDERFUL!! Tonight I’ll have a glass of wine and toast it your way.
Hi, Adoption Peeps. We all luuuuurve you now.

You know what? When I read that they didn’t know about your blog (before today) I kinda figured they’d find out. Do a simple google search. And I thought to myself that this blog is an asset. Seriously. When I read this blog I think what an intelligent, sassy, STRONG woman. What an inspiring story and family. And no matter what they read on here, you know it’s true, they know it’s true; rules are rules, and their asses are theirs in the end- I am pretty sure they were all secretly rooting for you to be approved. So congrats on the impending arrival and addition. I couldn’t have happened to a better mom. Or brother or sister. Or Boo. It just make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Shucks.
And for the record. I take xanax and I think I am pretty normal. You know… all things considered ;o ) I think everyone needs their own script and then maybe, just maybe, we could all get along.
sam
Hooray!!!!!!! I knew you’d be approved and that you were bat shit crazy! But it’s all good!
Now another little being to torture. Er… I mean LOVE.
I can’t believe they know ’bout this little ol’ blog!
But then again, this place was probably your saving grace if they’ve read anything that you’ve written about Bug.
Love ya T.!

They know about the blog??? Wow. They must be crazy too!
I am soooooo happy for you. I even shed a tear when I saw your approval stamps.

Congratulations. Between this approval and Flotsam’s twins, it feels like the universe is setting itself back on an axis that allows the people who so well deserve it, to be parents.
Fierce congratulatory hugs going out your way! Maybe you could say a little prayer that us knocked up ladies maybe get a break this time around from the hemorrhoids…
Ree
I’m soooooo happy for you! You know why they approved you right? You have the same temperament as a Mama Bear. Perfect for raising a baby bear.
Kisses and hugs to you Adoption Ladies, too. All of us believe you have rainbows and unicorns coming out your backsides.

Just wanted to add my congratulations to the long list. I actually said, “PHEW” out loud when I saw your post!

Woohooo!
Hands up to all the crazy adoption-approving ladies and gents – you couldn’t have chosen better if you tried!
And holy crap – they knew about the blog? Nice of them to save that shot for last!
Now I’m going to take my exclamation! marks! and! run! (Grinning madly!)
Flutter

mamatulip
I still can’t believe they know about your blog.
*snort*
Congrats, girl. I knew it.
Minnie
One of the reasons that I adore your blog is because you’re crazy. I mean that in a healthy, positive, child-rearing kind of way.
Congratulations to you!
