Approved!

Well, it's official! We are now approved and on the "waiting list" for our baby. Basically, we could get a call at any time letting us know we've been chosen as adoptive parents. Hooray!

I don't know if any of you are as big of fans as Todd and I are of the TV show Friends. There's one particular episode where Monica and Chandler find out they've just been approved for adoption and they are talking about how the next phone call they get could be their agency telling them they've been picked. The phone rings right after they say that and their eyes get really big and they answer the phone very excitedly but serious, thinking it's THE call already, about 30 seconds after they found out they were approved. This always makes us laugh, so Todd and I joke about it every time our phone rings!

Anyway, we'll keep everyone posted with all of our adoption news whenever we have any. Keep in mind that most couples go about 6 months to 2 years (on average) before a baby is placed with them. But who knows? It really could be our next call!
