Conception

...but I know it will be worth it. To be honest, I started an adoption blog a while ago, but never had the courage to continue it. It was too much, too fast, and I was not ready to share this experience in a public way.

But I'm ready now. In so many ways.

It is my hope that this blog will be both a record for my future child and a way to prepare myself for his or her coming. I have spent hours and hours thinking about this experience, thinking about my future as a mother, and now I can share these feelings with those who care to come along for the ride.

I suspect there will be rants and raves and joy and pain.

As with any birth.
