As of today, October 23, 2007, we are in the pool. The first time we heard the term "in the pool" was at the 'Parent Prep 1 Adoption Seminar'. Essentially that means we have finished all the paper work, cleared all criminal background checks, passed the home visit, officially approved to be adoptive parents, and are in the waiting pool with all the other cleared parents. We've been in the pool for about 2 months now. We are trying to balance the anxiousness of not hearing anything and savoring the life of a DINK (Double Income No Kids). It's a tough balancing act but we are coping.
So we are consuming ourselves with work, training and vacationing. Within the last few weeks, we spent a long weekend in San Fran/Napa Valley, Karen ran the Army 10 miler, I was in Vegas for a fight, I'm running the Marine Corps Marathon this coming weekend, and we are going to Nevis next week for some sun. We gotta keep ourselves busy!
