Congratulations

When we started talking about adopting, I started reading adoption blogs including this one
http://www.faithfullyinfertile.com/

Her story brought tears to my eyes and gave me hope that one day, our time would come.

Our day did come and while N was in the NICU, I got an email from Elaine, the writer of the blog.  She had heard about our story through another fellow blogger and while reading our story, she realized that she recognized the hospital where we were.  Little did I know that all that time that I'd been reading her blog, she had been so close.

She came and visited N while he was in the NICU and brought us an awesome care package, full of things to help our hospital stay easier.  Meeting her in person was surreal.  For so long, I'd been reading about her and Little Bug.  Being able to meet them in real life was a blessing.

Since then, we've gotten to know each other through our blogs and facebook.  We've also gotten together for a few hours at the zoo.

Here's the congratulations part of this blog:  She just got some awesome news which you can check out here (http://www.faithfullyinfertile.com/2011/01/dec-13/ ) and I'm so excited for her and her family.  I'm even more excited that I get to be a part of her journey. 

Congrats Elaine!  Thanks for letting me be a part of your new adventure.
