Merry Christmas!!!

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. As you might guess, this year has been extra special. It's been mega-difficult to no think about CJ as we visit family, attend church events, and read Christmas cards.

These last 2 weeks in December has been particularly special as more and more people learn about what we're up to, we're finding more and more amazing experiences along the way. Everyone we talk to is sooooo supportive in so many different ways. Whether it's processing paperwork quickly, offering to pray, or even just welcoming us into the club of parenthood. Lot's of folks speak of a cousin, friend, or church-mate who adopted and how they got to see not only the process, but the way in which everyone involved were blessed. Lately, we've been bolstered by the smiles and comments of co-workers, government clerks, and even lab nurses.

I am sometimes too quick to discuss that process and talk about all the "stuff" we have to go through to qualify. Meanwhile many of you ready to talk to us about parenthood. This really helps us to snap out of the technical mode and back into "getting us one of these!" It's fantastic to have so much backing from all those "Rod Chairs" out there.

Once again. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
