On Shermen's birthday we went to an informational workshop at an adoption agency. We had both done some research on a few different agencies, and have chosen Pauquette as the agency we'd like to work with. We left the workshop feeling positive, knowing we have a long and very challenging journey ahead of us, but obviously one well worth the struggle. Our biggest obstacle is the remaining work on the interior of our home, and the very minimal funds we have to achieve that task. We have support from family, in both morale and dollars, but dont want to burden them too much. The tax credit was a cushion, in case we have to borrow to cover costs, but we found out that after 2010 it will probably be discontinued / greatly reduced. Yesterday we went upstairs and reviewed the task ahead of us, the different options and potential costs. I kind of melted down, realized I'd been somewhat starry-eyed about the whole project, mentally minimizing the work needed to bring our upper level up to code etc. This will not be easy, but it shouldnt be, and I know we can do it.
