An awesome adventure

So this is my first atempt at blogging so bear with me for a while!  I wanted a way to share this journey we are on with everyone.  Reuben and I decided sometime in March or April that we wanted to pursue adoption once again. A few years a go we had a major let down with trying to adopt throught the foster care system.  Due to a situation beyond our control our lives were turned upside down and we decided not to continue with our foster care liscence.  It took a few years of healing, especially for me, before I was ready to try again.  We looked into different ways of adopting and decided that the china special needs program was a good fit!  So as of now we have submitted our formal application and had our first homestudy visit. I have to say that I knew this is a very long and detailed process going into this but it is definetly more than I realized!  I know in the end it will all be worth it so we just press on even though I feel very overwhelmed and frankly like I dont have a clue what I'm doing most of the time.  I'm very proud of Reuben for really stepping up and taking the reigns with this:)  I hope to be able to blog through every step of this journey to becoming parents!
