We closed. We have started to move in... did a very little bit of clothes and fragile items. And after five calls to the phone company dealing with five different incompetent people, I finally got a competent person who settled everything ("Yeah, uh, I hate to tell you this, but this order is a mess in about five different ways..." "This explains a LOT.") Tomorrow my friends L. and S. are spearheading a massive moving effort. L. is probably my best friend in this city, and is totally made of awesome, and her husband S., though I don't know him as well, is pretty much basically as awesome.
And that brings me to the point of this post: L. and S. would really like to adopt a baby. I am totally and completely sure they will be excellent parents. L. is a lawyer, and S. is an engineer who just got his Ph.D. and started working for a startup. L., in addition, plays the violin and is from an exceedingly musical family, and their baby no doubt would have lots of neat musical opportunities. And she can be sarcastic (though not mean), which is why I like her so much :) I would have no hesitation giving my own kid to them (well, if I had to... but as it is I am hoping L. and S. will feel like babysitting!) ... so... if you know anyone who is interested... I can totally send you their profile.
One thing: They are Mormon, and working through adoption services run by the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints. The bio-mother doesn't need to be Mormon, but she does have to be okay with working with them (and having her baby go to Mormons). Doesn't need to be in-state, but I believe needs to be in-country (USA).
Anyway, I hope it works out for them.
