Congratulations!
We are in the process of adopting our first children (two boys) through our state foster care system, and have our court hearing set for this Thursday (the 23rd)- yay!
I gained weight during the initial process (before we even knew of or had met the boys) with all the paperwork and classes and red tape and waiting- ugh. Major stress. So, I know where you are coming from!
But now, they are my main reason for wanting to get back into shape.
Congratulations to you, too Amber- adoption really is such a wonderful thing.
