"Here we go again!"

Todd & I have been very busy lately.  We have been celebrating Mercer's birthday, juggling work & side-work, knocking out the research & forms for our adoption homestudy, prepping for our FINAL social worker homestudy visit, AND building this website about our (prospective) 2012 adoption: http://www.adoption-2.blogspot.com/ 

This may be a bit of a *surprise* for those who didn't know we were looking to adopt again... but I think pretty much everyone who looks at this blog knows we've wanted to do this for awhile. 

We are having to do things a bit differently than how we went through Mercer's adoption.  We're taking on more of the work ouselves (instead of using a consultant) and we are being more creative with the financing:  we are planning to apply for some grants... we are hosting a "virtual" yard sale / virtual "bake sale" / and several upcoming "gourmet" pancake breakfasts as well.  

Most importantly -- if anyone hears of any potential adoption opportunities, PLEASE let us know.  We are nearing the end of our homestudy process and will begin actively searching for a baby girl to add to the Groves family this year.
THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!
