On November 20th Joseph and I attended an adoption fair. We weren't going to go, in fact we had agreed to not go. I had envisioned desperate parents and sad children. Uhhh yea, no thank you. We didn't want to be among the desperately seeking spawn.
Anyhow, on Wednesday we woke up and new that we were suppose to go. Joseph asked his boss if he could leave early and to our surprise he said yes. I got a sub for my class and off we went.
I laughed when we got there because I knew all of the kids by name....a sign that I had obviously spent way too much time on the adoptable children web-sites. Prior to going to the fair, I had seen these two girls on Wednesday's Child and said to Joseph that I thought they were cute. "Too old! No!"
We met Rebecca and Amy, two very cute sisters (the same sisters I had shown Joseph the week before) at the fair. Immediately I was drawn to them. We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out with the girls and getting to know them.
We submitted our match request and guess what we were matched!!!! Joseph and I were together when we got the e-mail saying we were in a match with the girls. We both cried. Well, I sobbed, tears just rolled down his eyes.
What's next?! Waiting and more waiting! Will keep you all posted!
Here's the girls: http://wednesdayschild.adopt.org/node/1144
