Got our adoption proposal today!!!!

Completely overwhelmed with emotions. At first, was thinking of all the things to do like sending file to doctor, getting visas, when to we go, etc.

We got three photos. 1 close up face shot, 1 full body shot and a shot of him sitting on a toy. Accompanying the photos is a word document with medical information. We know measurements at birth, basic biological parental info, measurements at different intervals of his life including a recent one. It also including results to his hep and HIV tests, what's he like (sleep patterns and appetite). It actually has more than I expected. Its a little information about a lot of different things.

It's a bit surreal. When you first see the photo I thought he looks like a friends kid. The more you look at it the more you notice things like height, facial characteristics and even his mood at that time. The more I see it the more I love him and realize this is my son.

Any day now!!!

Got a call from our adoption agency to redo our medicals as something will happen any day. From what we heard from others you get this call a few days before you get a proposal. Usually proposals seem to be sent on Friday, so being Wednesday that's two days.

I'm speechless. I am sortof crying and feel like I may throw up. All of a sudden all the waiting isn't that annoying. It's happening soon. We will likely go to Russia this month. The struggle to get to this point doesn't matter anymore.

Holly shit I can't believe this. Now I have to pretend everything is normal and go to work. I will have trouble focusing.

Current update: proposal coming
