Having fun sharing our secret

So...Mike and I kept our adoption a secret for about 6 months.  We did this primarily because we wanted to be sure that there wouldn't be any hang ups with our paperwork and approval.  And also because we knew that our journey was going to be a long one (18-22 months) and we thought that adding 6 more months to our wait would seem like a REALLY long time to our family and friends.  But with our approval, we figured it was about time to share our exciting news.  We told our family and friends in a variety of ways including phone calls, emails, postcards, and cookies...yes I said cookies.
