background info

This may be a little out of order..but I thought I should write about how we came to this point in our story.
My husband and I were married in Sept of 1994. We had always talked about adoption as an option for having or adding to a family. Then in 2/99 we had our first biological child, our son Will. It had taken us over a year to get pregnant with him so obviouly that lended to more adoption disscusions. Then in 3/01 we had our bio daughter Brooke. About 3 months later my we were talking about when my husband should get a vasectomy. Brooke was not an easy baby.
When Raymond had his "procedure" 3/03, and we felt confident that we were at the end of adding to our family..2 was enough. But we still knew that if we ever changed our minds..we could adopt. I would look online at info from time to time. Trying to think about where I would want to adopt from if we ever wanted to. I watched "Adoption Story" on TLC. As I looked I liked Korea more and more.
About a year ago I started to get the bug...you know the one...."the baby bug". Going back and forth...wishing Raymond had never had his "procedure" but then at the end of the month going "what was I thinking" we don't need anymore kids. As the year has gone on it stayed with me more and more "I want another baby". And Raymond was there with me too. But he never regreted his "procedure", he always said he would rather adopt than have me pregnant again.
Then about a month ago there was an adoption information meeting at our church. We went. I went really to show Raymond that we could not afford it. But came out a totally different person. As we talked about all that we heard and what we thought about it all on our 30 min drive home...we started relating everything to how it would effect our family. Well the kids are 7 & 5 and if it takes a year they will be 8 & 6 and we don't want more kids too far apart...ect...if this, then that kind of things. And by the time we got home and got out of the van, I said "Did we just decied to adopt a baby?" And Raymond said "Yea, I think so."
And here we are. Country chosen, agency chosen, application filled out and in the mail.
