Accountant is on board!

We had our tax appointment today and our accountant is on board with trying to claim the adoption tax credit if we do embryo adoption. We acknowledge it is a unique interpretation of the credit, but we do know it has been advanced before with success. And, worse that could happen is that the IRS says no and we'd have to give any money received back. Our accountant would like to see the "transaction" "completed" by year's end to make for a clean return. That would mean that the embryo adoption would have to work, and we'd have to give birth by December 31. That is likely NOT going to happen, but it is more incentive to truck along.

Tomorrow I have an appointment with our case worker. Hopefully, we won't hear anything new from her tomorrow, but just confirm what we've already learned through our research. Then, we will likely pay for our final application (which is necessary anyway if we did domestic adoption), and then set up our homestudy! (also necessary for the domestic adoption).

On a side note, I'm feeling not AS excited about doing embryo adoption as I was even a week ago. I blame it on hormones. But I also think I'm just enjoying Brae so much and his entry into toddler years, and that we've started planning/decorating for his "big boy" room. Although the thought of being pregnant overjoys me, the return to those infant days does not. But then I look at Brae and I so BADLY want to give him a sibling, and one that is close in age, so that urges me on. The door to embryo adoption has not been closed, in fact, doors are opening, but I'm just left wondering why we are on this path to begin with.

I know God blesses each person differently, and we are so blessed by Brae. So there is no reason to think God will not similarly bless us with another child, however that child comes.

New post after the meeting tomorrow!
