De-privatizing...

You may notice that our blog is no longer private. This is because we have a bit of news.

We are going to be adopting.

This is such an exciting step for us because we'll finally be able to start our family.

We hope our now-public blog might serve as a medium through which a prospective birth mother could get to know us.

We are working through the approval process with LDS Family Services and are really looking forward to what the future has in store for us.

Congrats you guys on this exciting step! I didn't have a clue this was in the picture for you guys, but given the fact that I mostly talk about Phil or life insurance with you guys it makes sense. :) It is crazy the course some of our lives take to get our family here.
