After many months of baby talk (Surrogacy? Gestational carrier? Domestic adpotion? International adoption? What country? And on and on...) we're finally taking baby steps towards getting our child. We've officially started the process to adopt a child from Nepal! We're super excited, and are relieved to have our started our journey although, I guess in reality, we've been on our journey all along.
I'm starting this blog as a way to keep friends and family up-to-date on the process, and share what will surely be an amazing experience. (Plus, it will provide a really cool account of it all!) Up until now, we've only told a very few people, and the first question has been "Why Nepal?". So we might as well answer it for everyone: "We listened until we heard our answer...and then we believed it."
So, Pebble, here we come! All that's between us now is mounds of paperwork, some background checks, lots of tests, more paperwork, a few classes, many approvals, a state government, 2 national governments...and 2 roundtrip tickets to Katmandhu. Namaste for now.

That's standing by the mother. It's so young It totters when she licks it with her tongue.
I sha'n't be gone long.--You come too."

Hi, Just came across your blog, it's great! We too, are at the beginning stages of our 'paper pregnancy' from Nepal. Of course our friends and family are very excited for us, but I find so few people who can truly relate to the emotions and excitement you experience while trekking through the adoption process. I wish you the best of luck in the journey to your pebble, and will be following your blog along the way. Namaste from Virginia. Jennifer
