The paper chase
If you ever thought buying a house involved a massive amount of paper work, you ain't seen nothin yet. Multiply the mortgage process by about five times and you might come close! It was just very fortunate for me that I have a husband who has no problem wading through endless requests for this that and the other. If it was left to me to handle, well we would probably have had to settle for another dog. This will balance out in the long run because Brian is just as intimidated by dirty diapers as I am paper work. Did I say balance? I think he will be changing a few dirties after all! Believe me, I will have the camcorder ready to roll on his first attempt. I'm hoping it will be good enough to send into America's funniest home videos. Maybe we'd win and be able to offset the cost of this adoption. Hey, it's worth a try.
We found out early on that due to my medical history that we were not going to be able to adopt through Russia or any part of eastern Europe. Not a problem. You see, I don't care what country we adopt from. I can love any child of any color. I just want to be Mama. Guatemala did not have a problem approving me. Their main concern is finding good homes for their kids.
So after Brian made sure that all the I's were dotted and the T's crossed we sent off stacks of tree products with the appropriate golden government seals. And then we waited.

Hi Brian and Robbie,
We're almost neighbors. I live in Vancouver Washington.
