WAITING FOR YOU - MOMMY DIARIES

Once up on a time, in a far away land on the opposite side of the globe – a beautiful child is born. This is the story of your Mommy & Daddy’s journey to adopt from overseas’ and bring you home to your forever family. Today, at 12:57pm, we made the first step to begin “WAITING FOR YOU”.

There have been countless discussions, inquiries and research completed over the past few years. Finally, after much consideration, we have decided today is the day. Today, we vow to commit ourselves to you and the process of adopting you forever.

Our journey begins with an email inquiry to Diane Thornton, a registered Adoption Practitioner (AP) in the Ottawa area that is licensed to perform what is called a “homestudy”. She will also guide us throughout the information session and our approval process. From all that I have read so far, the homestudy process can take between 4-9 months to complete. Our new life mission is within her hands, as she is the one who will grant us “approval”. Diane replied to my email immediately and is unfortunately going on holiday until Thursday, August 6 and so, the waiting begins…
