We've been matched!

Yeah, it's been a while since we've posted. We have had a busy summer between Mike graduating, getting ready for the move (boxes everywhere--argh. . .), and summer jobs. Once again, Mike is working with the Upward Bound program, plus he is doing work for his departments at the U and at Wayne State. Hallie had her last day at Riester on Friday, and we leave Salt Lake the first week of August.

The most important piece of new news we have, however, is that we had a meeting with a birth mother, and she wants us to adopt her baby boy due in October! The adoption agency said that we have been “matched” with our birth mother. This means that there is no legal obligation, and hence no guarantee that we will in fact be placed with our birth mother’s baby, but we feel optimistic that we’ll be parents before too long!
