Let's take it back to October 2013. Well, really, before that, but we will start there! We officially became a waiting family and made it official by announcing on Facebook! I mean, how else do you make things official? Now, realistically, I knew it could be a long wait...I mean, I've seen Dateline! That is what adoption is, right? Sign some paperwork, wait for a bit and then BOOM!, you get chosen and you get a baby! Easy Peasy! Ok, so I was wrong...very, very, wrong! I grew up in small town Nebraska and my husband grew up in one of the two "big cities" Nebraska has. We are somewhat sheltered! My best friend growing up had a brother who was adopted at birth...but shhhh...you didn't talk about it! A couple years prior to us talking adoption, one of my best friends adopted a little girl. They worked with an agency, they got a call and a few months later they had a baby! I thought to myself, "well, this can't be that hard. That seems pretty easy...
