Jump In, Jump Out, Introduce Yourself

It appears that we have quite a few lurkers out there! I'd love to know who you all are, if you have a blog, if you're an adoptive family, if you live in Tennessee, or if you're a dear friend or family member who just never comments (you know who you are!). :)

For those I haven't met, I'll go first. My husband, Chris, and I have been married for three and a half years. We met and married in Knoxville, Tenn., and now live outside of Nashville. Chris is a student minister, and I work for a magazine. We have a Lhasa apso named Topher. When we began thinking about starting a family, God led us to adopt before having biological children. We are now on the waiting list to adopt a 0-12 month old boy from Ethiopia.

Your turn! Don't let me down!

Guess Our "Due" Date

Seeing how it is Labor Day and all, let's have a little fun!

I've heard that the paperwork process is like the first trimester, the wait period is like the second trimester, the referral and the court process is like the third trimester, the court date is like going into labor, and the travel is like giving birth.

We've just begun the wait period, which our agency tells us averages 3-5 months. So, give us your best guess for our "due" date (our referral day) as a comment. Who knows, there may be a prize! :)
