Speaking of our current family, just thought I would share a photo of the cat and the dog in their favorite positions. Hobbes (cat) thinks that Frisbee (dog) is his girlfriend (both are male). Frisbee is not too happy with the situation, but is tolerant when he is sleeping.

Can we start a family?

Patrick and I have been living in Eugene now for over a year. We have bought a house and have filled it with family of pets. While a dog and 3 cats seems like enough of a family for some, it is really time to start a human family. Actually, we have been trying to do just that for over a year now with, obviously, no success. Aparently, it runs in the family, although I didn't know that until just last night. Sure wish someone had told me that a long time ago, maybe I would have started sooner :-).
Actually, it all falls right into my big plans for life. Well, sort of. I've always loved children, but never thought I would have my own BIOLOGICAL, children. There are so many children out there who need families and the world is really too overpopulated anyhow. So, we've decided to go the route of adoption.
Adoption, it turns out, is quite a lengthy and involved process. We have decided to adopt from China, because they seem to have such a large number of unwanted girls and because the process seems the most streamlined. Currently, we are trying to just decide which adoption agency we will go through.
So, over the next year and a half I will try to blog about our experience!
Cheers!
