Just a few thoughts in my head tonight before I turn in...
Like the one I am having now, about how 10:45 PM will not be like it is today in 6 months...
Good news- RWD (Mark's company) is offering domestic partner benefits. This certainly helps our family out, and will allow Todd to take time away from working (at least 6 weeks, possibly more) to start raising the baby.
Britnei and Julie met with the attorney yesterday. No new information, just an opportunity for them to meet. Apparently Susan asked a lot of very specific and direct questions. I suspect that it surprised Julie and Britnei but I am sure it is typical of the questions that are asked time and time again to get as complete a family history as possible.
That's all for now, better get sleep while I can. Too bad you can't bank it and use it later.

What about the father?
OK a lot of questions have come our way about the "Birth Father" so I thougth I would post what we know.
His name is Hugo Morreno, and from what we know he was visiting Columbus from Mexico this summer. He is 19-20 years old. We have 2 pictures that Britnei was able to get for us.
Apparently he knows that Brit is expecting, but doesn't seem to care too much. We will try to get contact information for him, but I am not holding my breath for that. It may be nice in the future to have some facts about him or his family but for now this is what we have.

It's Official
Well, today was a big day for sure. Todd and I met with Susan Eisenman, our adoption attorney. After an hour or so of talking and getting lots of great information, we signed the agreement to work with her and made this official.
Susan explained the adoption process to us, the major steps we must go through and made some recommendations. We will be talking with Britnei and Julie later tonight to let them know the news.
Basically right now we will just continue to make our preparations, getting our lives and our home ready for the new arrival. After the holidays we will start with the home study process and Britnei will meet with an Adoption Assessor, a specially trained social worker to help her understand the process and prepare for the birth and hospital process.
The biggest event today is that we are now telling people. I called my brothers and sister-in-law, and we will start trickling the news. This blog will be sent to everyone so they may keep in touch with what is going on with the process.
