Adoption
13 years ago
General
My wife got the call today a little after noon. We have been placed for adoption! Four years of waiting and suddenly, BAM!
The little girl who is going to be our daughter was born Dec 28th, and we should be picking her up sometime next week. The next few days will be a mad scramble to buy all of the things we're going to need (car seats, changing table, crib, diapers, clothes, bottles, formula, etc...). My wife and I will also be having a big talk tonight once she gets home to decide what we're going to do going forward with everything.
One thing this does mean is that my participation in the fandom is going to take a big back seat for a while. I'll try to come online to chat on the weekends, and I do hope to still attend Furnal Equinox and Anthrocon, but as of now my attendance at either is provisional. Also, my writing is going to be downgraded in priority, but I also hope to keep it up.
Keep my family in your prayers. We're going to need it as we enter this amazing new chapter in our lives.

Here's hoping everything goes smoothly and that you don't forget what sleep feels like :P
But for real, I'm happy for you. It was about time!

I am totally kidding. Congratulations, MattRat!
Did you ever review the scenes I sent you for Wolfram?
And thank you, my dear friend!

You both must be really on cloud 9 at this time. Please congratulate Kim for me as well. Also, please let me know if you get registered anywhere. I know this is rather sudden and you probably don't have time for baby showers or anything of the like... but let me know.
Thank you so much for the offer, Javi!

And don't worry about the fandom taking a back seat in your life. It will always be waiting for when you have the time. :)
you are always in my thoughts <3
