    Congratulations on your decision! It is one that you will never regret. For us, once we made the decision to stop fertility treatments and focus on adoption, it was like a whole new, exciting life was beginning. After all, our child was out there! :) And, now, yours is, too! Good luck on your journey.

    Melissa, CONGRATULATIONS on your decision to adopt! I can just feel your excitement from your post...its so thrilling to realize that you're finally hearing what God is telling you (that's the way it was for me too - I can SO identify with your hammer on the head comment!)

    Wishing you a smooth and short road on your journey! Please keep us posted.

    That is just wonderful Melissa. When you know it's right, you know it's right! What a great adventure that is ahead of you. I love how you know there's another family memeber out there.

    Congratulations, Melissa!!! I have a happy heart just reading your post. :)

    I worked with someone in Winston-Salem who has adopted from China once and just began the process again. I know he is part of a group of families that have adopted from China, but don't know how big of an area they cover (pretty certain it's a pretty big area). Let me know if you'd like me to get more info from him.

    Good luck!! Can't wait to see your journey unfold!

    Melissa, I am so excited for you guys. My sister is in the process of adopting from China (she is DTC as of last week), so I have heard quite a bit about it. I really think that DH and I will probably adopt one day too - we're just not quite there yet.

    (((((((((Melissa)))))))))) I have tears in my eyes reading your post. It is wonderful to hear the joyful news of an addition, but somehow the journey along the way is the part most of us miss out on as it is often quiet and family news. I feel lucky to be able to read about the very earliest part of the adventure. To hear the excitement and love in your thoughts is wonderful!!! I will be adding you onto our prayers. :-)

    Melissa:

    Your post made me cry, even thought we've already talked about this. I can't wait to see your princess when you take her home. I wish you and your family nothing but the best. I can't wait to be your cheering section at the airport.

    Lots of love,
    Sonia
