Just a quick update - While the birth mother did email us back this morning, we just heard from the agency and she has apparently picked another family.
Maybe the next one will work out.

Adoption Update
Carol, at the agency, suggest we email the birth mother again...so we did. We let her know we care about her and know she is making a really hard decision and want her to do what is best for her and her baby. We hope to hear from her soon.
Will update if we hear anything before we are state side.

Quick Whistler Update
Day 2 in Whistler and we are having so much fun! Plenty of room in the condo for the adults to have fun and for the kiddo's to run around and play.
So far we have spent time in the village, took Grace to the fun zone, celebrated Bob's b-day, visited the Olympic Nordic Zone, and Michelle and I did some more shopping in the village.
We have been able to time our activities with the weather pretty well, and are going to head to the peak tomorrow since it is supposed to be sunny.
Nice thing about the cold weather...makes the hot tub even better!
A few pics...
Bob, Michelle and the girls at the bar in the condo.
Grace on the trampoline at the fun zone...she is scared of heights, but did great with this!
Mark and I outside my favorite shop in Whistler...Roots.
At the Irish Pub drinking beer waiting for our food.
All of us at the bottom of the mountain bike downhill area.
The Beckham's at the Nordic Olympic zone.
The Olympic Rings at the Cross Country Ski area.
Grace ready for our mini hike with Mark's backpack.

Whistler Bound
Mark and I leave for Whistler tomorrow morning. We meet Bob and Michelle and their place at 9am and head out for the week.
We do not get cell phone service up there so will not be answering our phones or returning phone calls. We will have our laptops and have internet access. I'm sure we will post to FB and I will update the blog with any adoption news we may receive. I will also check my email so if you need to reach us email is probably best.
I will also update the blog with our adventures and some photos.
And, some of you will be happy to know we will not be bungee jumping this year and plan to play it pretty safe considering we have a 4 and 1 year old traveling with us.
We will be back next Saturday the 11th.

More Adoption Information
We just got some further information regarding the birth mom that emailed us. She has also been in touch with our agency and they are sending her information on several couples, us included.
Our agency assured us she is for real and is taking this very serious. She is looking at couples from multiple agencies, trying to make the best decision for herself and her child.
As much as I want a baby, I also want her to make the best choice for herself and her child. I hope she finds what she is looking for even if it is not us.

Adoption Update
I hesitate to even post an Adoption Update because I hate making our friends and family go on the roller coaster ride of up’s and down’s with us. But, I have not posted an update in a long time, and well some people already know, so I would rather everyone hear it from me rather than the grape vine.
We got an email last night from a birth mom who is due Jan. 22, 2011. She saw our adoption website that Mark created and emailed us from there to find out if we were serious about providing her baby with a home. She is looking for the best option for her child and we feel honored that she would even consider contacting us as an option.
We of course responded to let her know we are absolutely serious and would love to hear back from her so that we can exchange further information.
I really hope this is the one! It has been a year, and while I will wait as long as I need to, I’m tired of waiting! We are so ready to be parents! There are about a million thoughts going in circles in my head, but I keep reminding myself that cautious hope is the best policy at this point.
As always the blog is the best way for updates…I will keep everyone posted as to what transpires, if anything, over the coming days.
