Philip and I have been discussing adoption since we were engaged in 2002. After alot of thought and research, and many months of my "obsessing" over agencies and different countries online we decided to just go for it! The country we choose was Guatemala. We started our "paper chase" in September 2006. Many social worker meetings, signatures, and notaries later we were finally "paper ready" and could be matched with a baby!

This journal is for friends and family (or anyone really) who I know I neglect by not letting you know exactly what is going on. You guys are sincerely concerned and I appreciate it. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. This is for you!!!
