No sooner did I paint the bedroom, on the "if you build it they will come" theory did we get our first call about a potential Birth Mother!

No word yet...still waiting to see if we are chosen. We are one of four families she is considering.

We are living on total pins and needles until next week (but very guarded).

This process is hard from start to finish.

Thank God for the World Series....something to distract us. GO Yanks!

First Blog Post!

This is my first Blog post. I'm not sure exactly how this works.

My name is Sylvia and I want to be a Mommy. My husband Ian wants to be a Daddy. We always knew we wanted to adopt but we were married kind of late and decided to give biology a try. We tried the "old fashioned way" for 2 years and after a couple of losses decided that we'd rather be parents than be perpetual fertility patients....so we went back to our original plan of domestic adoption.

We started the process in May 2009 and completed our home study in August 2009 with Spence Chapin here in NYC. Now we are waiting for a match....and waiting....and waiting. It's been 8 weeks and I'm not a very patient person!

I'll post again when something happens!
