Let me take a minute to introduce myself and my family, for those of you stumbling upon this blog with no other connection to me. I am Integer, a stay at home mother of one, though I used to be a math teacher. My husband, Degree, works fulltime in publishing and is also a PhD student. He is working on his PhD in Historical Theology. Our son, Factor, will be 2 years old at the end of March. We adopted him domestically (which means he was born in the USA) 2 years ago. We live in Michigan. We moved up here years ago so Degree could go to school. I love the four seasons that we experience here, but really would like for winter to be a little shorter than it always is. Isn't it supposed to end Mid-March? Not in Michigan. Enough introduction...
In this blog, I hope to keep everyone up to speed on the adoption of Pi, our hoped for 2nd child.
I am up to my eyebrows in papers to fill out to get this process moving. On one hand, I feel like I could spend a few hours and have it all filled out tomorrow. On the other hand, I know that the references have yet to be sent out by the agency which means I can take a little time before I send in all of our stuff. The whole adoption process, from the time you receive the paperwork until a baby is placed in your home, could take up to 2 years. What's a couple extra days on my end with these papers? Of course, some of the papers require dr. visits, so those are not my responsibility to actually fill out. The essay-type "self study" questions are what takes the most time. I'd like to pass the questions out to everyone I know who is thinking of having another child...see how well they answer them.

We'd like to be Uncle Blaise (Pascal) and Aunt Algorithm. Our boys are Numerator and Denominator :)
Okay, but I think Factor may have a hard time pronouncing your new names!
