I know in the "real" world outside of adoption...that means not so much. BUT...for us it is like the dr. confirming that yes indeed you are pregnant. Our next step is getting through to the Letter of Acceptance. That is kind of like getting through the first trimester of pregnancy. You can then feel comfortable telling the world of the little miracle in your life. We are so thrilled and so excited!!!
