stuff for expectant adoptive parents!

I was surfing on Cafe Press, which has t-shirts, bumper stickers, buttons, and so on for everything. I simply had to check out their adoptive-parent stuff again (remembering to type in "adoption" and "baby" because there's a lot on adopting pets. The AdoptionMama site had some wonderful things so I surfed over to them!

The shirts/pins I most identified with were, of course "paper pregnant" and the "Still Waiting" shirt, which says: "Yes, I am still adopting. No, I haven't heard anything yet. "But each day brings me closer to my child." Hard to remember that sometimes...And I'm not even waiting to hear yet, just working on my paperwork. Which brings me closer: best encouragement possible to do it!

Wish they had more stuff for dads (e.g. Ken), though some stuff is unisex...

Speaking of Paper Pregnant, my cold is sadly keeping me away from Palm Sunday in New Paltz with the family. Sooo...I have plans to get the NJ Motor Vehicles info form for Ken to fill out, and to pester him to do that--we just did the MD one this afternoon! Also we'll put in a call to Karen & Ben about the guardianship papers. Then we'll only have the financial stuff and a lot of photocopying (birth certificates, etc) to do.

Tuesday we have the Sanitary Survey and get to find out whether our bedroom is considered big enough for two adults and an infant. If not, everything goes on hold till we find a new place and move. In that case, oh *$%(!

It wouldn't *all* go on hold -- you could still take care of everything else but the site-specific stuff. (At least in MD, you don't have to have a separate bedroom for a child...)

No matter what happens, I promise you two will handle it.
