You know me. . . Who are you?

I have a lot of fun and exciting posts coming next week about where exactly Taher and I are in the adoption process, and when we can expect to get our "monkey" home. (Monkey is our term of endearment for kids. We've called our beautiful nieces monkeys for years, and we can't wait to call our baby a monkey) I also want to talk about the gender we have chosen for our child (yes, you can select the gender) Next week you will also get to "know" my better half a little better, as he plans on doing guest posts once a week. . . we are truly in this together, and I wouldn't want to be in this with anyone else. :-D

Over the past week, ever since Taher and I announced to people our adoption plans, I've received many beautiful emails congratulating us. I've also received comments from about 20 different people saying HOW THE HECK DO I LEAVE A COMMENT???

So this my friends, is your how to leave a comment tutorial.

1. After you read the latest post, underneath the post, kind of towards the right hand side, you will see the word COMMENTS. Sometimes it will say 0 COMMENTS, sometimes it will say 5 COMMENTS. (It all depends on how many comments I've received on that post. Click the COMMENT button.

2. You will then have a little box displayed where you can type a comment. Type away.

3. It will then ask for your identity. If you don't have a google account set up, check the anonymous box. If you do check anonymous, just be sure to sign your name when you type a message.

It's as easy as that! I promise! :-D I've also had so many people tell me this week, I read your blog, congrats! And it's usually people that I had no idea were reading my blog. So come out hiding, say hi. :-D

So, did you come across my blog today for some reason or another? If you did, say hi, introduce yourself. I'd love to "meet" you too! :-D

Stay tuned for all the exciting information coming next week, but for now, I leave you with a picture.

My brother-in-law calls their darling baby girl "meatball"... I prefer to use "monkey".
Hey, this is my first blog comment ever! Maybe I should get a google account since I'm going to follow you.

Love that pic! So cute!

And I laughed about the monkey comment. I was born in the (Chinese) year of the monkey and my dad used to call me monkey for fun.

I've been following your blog for a long, long time. As mostly a lurker, but most recently I have come out of the lurking status.

I love your new blog look. It looks great. :)

Wowee, wow! That is big news! A friend of our just adopted a little girl from NC. Was able to be a support for them through ups and downs of the whole process. I will be eager to stay in touch and hear how your overseas adoption goes. Here's another website I enjoyed reading about their adoption.
