So yesterday we jumped in the car and drove up to meet with the case workers regarding, the sweet gorgeous little 18 month old girl we are wanting to adopt. I’ve decided to nickname her “Little Miss” when referring to her on my blog until we know if she will be ours for sure – when it’s official I’ll share her name.

Happy to report that the meeting was better than anticipated, and her case worker is just a stellar guy with an amazing attitude! Little Miss was there the entire time, and once she warmed up to us after a few minutes all she wanted to do was cuddle and play. It was super sweet beyond words. We have some paperwork and hurdles ahead, but this could happen relatively quickly if all goes well. She could potentially be home with us permanently in three months, but can visit lots before that and even stay with us for a few days at a time. It’s an amazing process to be able to bond with her before she comes home, I’m grateful for that especially considering her age. It would break my heart to just go and pick her up from everything she knows before she even knew us. I’m sure it will be hard for her to leave the loving foster home she has been in since only a few weeks old, and come to live with us. I’m encouraged by the amazing adoptive families I know of and their example. You can bet that I’ll be peppering Jackie with loads of questions. She just adopted a little girl from Taiwan a few months ago and it’s been thrilling to hear their story. She’s been so honest about their transition, the bumps and the joys. Thanks for that Jackie! XO!
