Agency Update

I spoke with the infant coordinator at the adoption agency and everything sounds good so far. Mom and baby are healthy, the 20 week scan looked perfect, and I may even get a copy of the ultrasound picture this week.

I also found out that I don’t have to stay in Ontario after the baby is born, as long as I stay in the state of Oregon until the paperwork is ready. Thankfully a dear friend lives in Baker City and has offered to make room for us. So much better than a hotel, and very special because I was one of the first people to see her daughters born 11 and 13 years ago. She always joked her kids would be old enough to babysit by the time I had any of my own, and sure enough, her 13 year old is now certified in all things babysitting.

Next Monday I’m going in bright and early to pay some fees and sign some contracts. Meanwhile, I hope to hear back from a few daycares and may even go back to Goodwill to snag the $15 rocker/glider-ottoman set I spotted last weekend. It needs new cushions, but I could certainly use a project to help pass the time.
