One more cup of coffee

Once more into the breach

We're trying again with the adoption.

Earlier this year, we had been matched with a couple for five months, planning to adopt their baby through an open adoption. The day before the birth, they called to say they had changed their mind.

In mid-September, we met another birthmother, this one in Salt Lake City, UT, and matched with her. We've been out there to visit twice, and talk to her once a week. She's due on December 31 -- five weeks from today.

So, with any luck at all, in another month or so, we'll have a baby. We really hope so. Wish us luck.
