Okay, I'm finally getting this blog up and running after almost a month of fiddling. Sorry about the delay.
I just want to explain a little about how blogs work, for those of you who don't surf them regularly like Yours Truly. Basically, when there is anything to tell about our adoption, I will post it here. The newest news will always be on top. There isn't any way we'll let you know we've updated, so you'll have to check back here once in a while to see if I've posted anything new. I'm going to try to post something every week.
After we are done with our home study, there will be a looong period of waiting. Believe me, nobody will be more frustrated with that than us! I plan to be honest here, so I want you to know that there will probably be plenty of entries with Unpleasant Attitude. Bear with me. It will get better.
If you want to leave a comment to let us know that you have been here or are thinking of us, you can click the green link below the latest entry that says "No Comments." (If there are comments it will say something like "32 Comments.") The page that pops up will ask you for your name, email and website. If you don't have any of the three of these things, just make one up. For example: Name: Aunt Lorrie, email: auntlorriesworld@yahoo.com, website: auntlorriespeaks@anon.com. The computer has no idea these addresses aren't real (see how it's try to link them by turning them blue?) so it will accept them and allow you to comment. (Thanks Aunt Lorrie for being my example!) We would love to recieve comments from all of you telling us that you have been here. It is a great encouragement to hear from all of you.
If you have any questions about how to use this site, just call us or email me at jbondsgirl@yahoo.com. We love you all and thank you for coming with us on this journey.
HI Linda and Jeff,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea and a great way to communicate. You will have lots to write about sooner than you think. This is an exciting time in your lives and it is great that you want to share it with us. We think about you everyday and are praying for you.
Aunt Lorrie and Uncle Ray
Dear Linda & Jeff,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on adopting!! We are SO happy for you :) Don't let the paperwork get you too stressed, just focus on the end result, your new baby! How exciting, are you looking in the US or another country? Hope you are both well and we are keeping you in our thoughts and sending positive vibes your way! Can't wait to see you in October!! I can't beleive it's almost here :) If there's anything we can do to help let us know. Good friends of my parents adopted 3 children and wrote letters and did phone interviews for them, it's amazing how many questions they ask and references they need. I can't beleive I'm old enough to have friends that are starting families, it blows my mind!!
Lots of Love,
Jen & Tom XXX OOO :)
