"Planning" for Adoption

I am pretty sure that the word "planning" and adoption should never be used in the same sentence. My whole life I had this fantasy as to how things would play out. I would get married, have a great career, and when ready get pregnant and start my family. I would have a cute little house, a dog, and 2.5 children. But WAIT...life doesn't always go as planned!

The planner in me is having a problem with adoption. My internal scheduler is having a hard time deciphering the time frame. And the patience part of my brain is getting lots of exercise.

I get frustrated when you go to start a baby registry and it asks me for my due date. I'm having a hard time finding gender neutral clothing and bedding. And it's hard to not even know what season we will be bringing a baby home.

In the end I know it will all be worth it!

Welcome if you are reading for the first time. After suffering from infertility my husband and I have just completed our home study. (we are waiting for our social worker to finish writing it) We will be adopting an infant domestically at some point in the future. Thanks for reading!
