We really didn't expect it to happen so fast! Thursday we will be picking up our new van... yes VAN! For those of you who know me, I am not your "mini van" mom. No offense to all you mini van mom's out there, you totally rock!! I know I will love it and it will grow on me. Maybe it makes me feel old or un-cool? Whatever stereotype that goes along with it. I'm more of your truck or SUV driving kinda mom. But the benefits of having a van with 4 children will definitely out weigh any scenario. My best friend Jules assures us it's the best choice and I'm trying to trust her. I'm sure she's right!
In other news, we've been doing more research on programs... which to choose? Which agency to go with? As different agencies offer different countries... I think? Still trying to get it all right.
We announced the news to the kids! Quinn (5) semi-understands but his main concern at the moment is having a sister! Ha ha
Windsor (2.5) doesn't understand a thing, but would also like a sister. Mostly because his brother does and well, he's a total copy cat these days!
Which brings us to... Girl or Boy? While some countries let you specify, some do not. For the countries that do, it could limit our chances or make the process that much longer than it already will be. I can't help but think how amazing it would be, to bring a little girls home to 3 older brothers and to have that mother/daughter relationship. It's just a different kind of bond.
Realistically though, gender doesn't matter to us. Giving a child a home they don't have with unconditional love and care is really all that matters in the end any way.
