I have an apartment now. It's a very inexpensive two bedroom, which I specifically wanted because the second bedroom will (hopefully) be my future children's! It SO much room for the money- it's just a great bargain; I'm so proud of myself.

In the shorter term, I have a grad student lined up as a potential roommate for that second room, but she will be happy to leave if/when an adoptive placement should roll around for me. (I'm really not going to get the ball rolling on the adoption process until perhaps the early spring.)

I've sent away for a few agencies' info packets, too.

I just keep looking at that second bedroom and imagining kids in it, who would be MY kids...

This past May I remember hoping that by the next Mother's Day I would be a mother. It may not happen quite that soon, but I'm hoping to at the very least "have the ball rolling" by that time.

Just an update (though slightly off-topic) from me.

Congratulations on the new apartment Rachel! A chinese proverb reminds says "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step" and you have just taken the first step on your adoption journey. Your time line sounds very workable and I wish you all the best as you pursue your adoption.

Rachel,
Congrats also on the apartment! I hope you have a quick and successful adoption, we are also just beginning the process. I noticed you live in Pittsburgh, I grew up in Indiana, about an hour east from you. My in-laws live in Greensburg though, where exactly do you live?

jschmidt-

I live actually in the city of Pittsburgh. Not a suburb.
