Chapter 2 (2-10-2015)

It's been a whirlwind since we found out about "Luke". We had a phone interview with the adoption agency, Gladney last week Friday. On Monday this week, we found out that Gladney was going to go ahead and match us with him! It's so wonderful to have the support of the agency and such a quick response.

We have some paperwork to fill out and notarize and then turn in, then we will have 6 months from that time to complete all our paperwork. We are in it and there's no turning back.

When we found out we were matched with him on our end, Joe and Bella were excited and happy. I was so proud of the way they responded and that they are all in too. They want him here and it makes my heart sing!

Dan and I have asked about "Luke"'s process in all this. When does he find out about us? Does he want to be adopted? Will he be presented with a choice? We want him to choose us. We don't want to take him away from something that makes him happy. We want what's best for him. There are so many complicated thoughts about this, but I think we'll be reassured when we find out more about his end of things.
