Telling the Family

We began telling our family members about our adoption news (the fact that we're in the queue awaiting an infant referral) tonight. We made it through Joe's immediate family members tonight. His mom and all eight siblings. Tomorrow night, we'll call my parents and my six brothers.

So this expecting-a-baby announcement was just so very different from the others. After all, there is no due date. Uncertainties regarding the specifics (birth time and place, for example) are complete unknowns. But considering we could, at least in theory, receive a baby referral any day, we figured we'd better begin letting the family know.

We had great fun making those calls! I'm smiling ear to ear as I type this...
