I mentioned a phone call yesterday on FB that got me more excited about our adoption journey then I have been. Things have been relatively quiet as our orientation class is this weekend [holy shnikes it\u2019s in 4 days<\/i>!] and not much is really going on. Sure, I\u2019ve been perusing the AdoptUSKids<\/a> website for my future babies and it\u2019s depressing as hell reading their stories and seeing their sweet little faces.<\/p>\n

But anyhow, the phone call. I was driving home and don’t normally answer unfamiliar numbers, but I had called someone earlier and thought she was returning my call. Nope, it was someone from Our Kids<\/a> that had discovered my blog and read everything – including my frustrations <\/a>– and passed it along to several other people. Yeah, I checked my site stats last night and there were 40 visits to that post. Whaaaaaaaaat?<\/p>\n

We talked for a while and she promised to send me an email with all her contact information for me to call anytime with questions. She sent the email and CC’d a ton of amazingly helpful people.<\/p>\n

One specific thing I asked her about was the 3 bedroom thing, but she wasn’t certain. It’s on my list to ask on Saturday. But, regardless, I will finally be claiming the bunkbeds that I laid claim to many years ago. I’m trying to find a picture of it (or have one sent to me) to post bc they’re awesome!<\/del> The bunk beds! My father built these for my brothers a million years ago.<\/p>\n

\"bunkbeds\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Clearly they’re being used for storage these days at my folks house. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Things happen for a reason. We were meant to have these stumbling blocks. She and I discussed this and I firmly believe it.<\/p>\n

And…<\/p>\n

I don’t believe in coincidences. She has the same name as a good friend of mine whose birthday was yesterday. I mentioned this to her as well… Then texted my friend afterwards to tell her the funny.<\/p>\n
