There’s a reason I haven’t updated our adoption blog in such a long time. Our world is about to be turned upside down (in a good way!). We’re in a place where, because we want to start building our house next summer on the property, that we have to put our condo on the market.
For obvious reasons this means we can’t accept a referral. Once our condo sells (oh please please please) we’ll be renting until our house construction is done, which we are hoping will be early Fall of next year.
We’ve put off actually placing our adoption on hold because it gets very messy and complicated when we factor in paperwork expiring, but there’s nothing we can do about it.
And for those of you following along, as of today – although fairly irrelevant now – we are #36 on the overall list.
I still follow everyone’s exciting news on the adoption boards and blogs and am cheering each one of you along!

Are you guys going to go on hold? Or since sibling referrals are taking up to 16 months now, are you gonna just wait it out? Would you be able to go to the top of the list when you come off of hold? Am I being too nosy?? HAHA! Congrats on the big decision about building your house!! Can’t wait to see lots of pictures of the progress!!
I am excited you are building your house! I was wondering what happened to your blog.
Saw your comment on another blog!!!!
wait — you cannot adopt if you live in a rental?? WHY??? That’s crazy! Stupid CHI
