Bean's World

IT WORKED, IT WORKED!

Thanks to the kind and positive thoughts, karma, energy, vibes, prayers and good wishes, Mr. Bean and I have been approved to start the adoption process of these two beautiful girls. We met them for the first time yesterday. They are absolutely gorgeous, full of life and will make a wonderful fit to our family. We are all so excited - and scared to death! We have to do a ton of things in such a short amount of time - when people usually have 9 months to prepare! We start having them weekends this weekend, and they should be in our home permanently in May or June. Once they are here, then they have to live here three months and then the court process begins. I can't believe it's finally happening. We bought beds for them last night and are getting car seats and other stuff with a friend who has similarly aged kids on Thursday. Mr. Bean's birthday is this weekend and he says it's the best birthday present he could ever have - I agree with him.

Thank you everyone - this is the happiest day in my life - only after the day Mr. Bean and I got married!

    Do you guys know about Freecycle.org? It's a listserv where people give away items for free and ask for things they need. Go to freecycle.org and you can join a list for Albany, Saratoga or wherever. It is a great place to get kid equipment, clothes and stuff ... because such things don't get much use before kids outgrow them.

    I know you both have good jobs and can buy new, but if you can get things for free, that's more you can put away to take the girls to DISNEY! ;-)

    Big hugs! Can't wait to meet them ... and you!

  • Wow....you see Bean....I had a great feeling about this.

    I am so happy for the both of you. I think back about how much you went through in December and now for this to be happening, you two are truly blessed.

    I think the two of you are going to make such wonderful parents. Those two girls are so lucky. I can feel your joy...all they way out here in L.A.

    Well...can I start calling myself....Uncle Tigger?
