Congratulations, Gary.

I wish I could have been a father too, but destiny decided otherwise. Give the kids all the love I couldn't give to the ones I didn't have. Good luck.

Question: Why Thailand?

[jsherman999]

To my friends on the forum I just wanted to pass on some news of a happy forthcoming event.

Some of you may remember that my wife and I have been going through the process of adopting a child from Thailand. We tried for four and a half years and were told that my wife was infertile.

Well we have been approved to adopt and our dossier has been sent to Thailand and now we are waiting.

In the meantime, despite my wife's 'infertility' I am happy, no F*&^ it, I am deliriously happy to announce that sometime in June my wife will be giving birth to our daughter. I haven't mentioned it sooner because my wife was nervous, due to her difficulties in getting pregnant in the first place. She is happy now we are past the half way point.

Unfortunately our adoption may be delayed until our daughter is old enough to travel but we are still going ahead with it as well.

Wish us luck.

Gary, I can't tell you how happy I am for you. We just had our first 17 months ago now (I think you've seen him? ) and let me tell you, life gets busy, but also better - incredibly, deeply fulfilling. Very, very happy for you.

You're going to put more importance on portrait lenses now, and low-light AF!

(You do realize this is a prime opportunity to load up on any camera gear you "need", don't you?)

I'm just quoting Mike here because he's got a very good point!

Awesome news Gary!!! That is wonderful. Having a few of those kid things myself (but none of the girl variety) I feel qualified to say you're in for one heck of a ride.

When I first saw the subject line, I had a feeling it was in relation to the adoption process, but I was thrilled to read that you've also got one "in the oven". I hope all will continue to go well with the pregnancy and the adoption process. Congratulations!

Congratulations Gary - That's excellent news! Jay said about everything I would so I quoted him for effect ... (didja know he's got just the camera you'll be looking for! )
