I just sent a short mail to an adoption attorney.

I honestly don't know if that's really the right place to start, but it'll at least give us a better idea than what I've come up with so far, which has been a giant morass of agencies and agents for agencies and useless directory sites and... blah. No way to tell which ones are a scam, or which ones would balk at handing a kid over to a couple of queer atheists or whatever. The whole thing seems like a big pile of Ponzi schemes and snake oil sales drones.

I'm figuring it'll take months to get through all the paperwork and such, so I may as well get going on it now, even though I'm a little concerned about financial issues at the moment, what with the economy being a disaster.

I guess we'll see what happens next.

Congratulations! It's the first step, anyway.

Are you guys in the pool yet?

We just got the go-ahead to print our materials out today; Ben's down at the Kinko's right now making sure they look ok on paper before having them run a print job. So we should be open for business by the end of the week.

Yay!

Crossing my fingers that this all goes quickly and smoothly!
