For those of you familiar with international adoption...Enjoy!

Maybe this is a good strategy for some of you ladies who are trying to convince your husbands to adopt another child. There are pregnancies that some refer to as "accidental pregnancies", how about "accidental adoptions"? The conversation might go something like this...


--Honey, sit down. I have some news for you.

--What is it?

--Well, I don't know how to say this, so I'll just come out with it. I went out to the mailbox today and ... well, we got an I-171H.

--A what?!? An I-171H? As in, we're going to have another baby?!?

--It looks that way.

--But how? We've been so careful! I put away all the blank I-600A forms. Didn't you hide our homestudy update?

--Of course I did. But don't forget, there was that one night ...

--What night? (pauses) Ohhh, that night. But it was only once. We were just messing around. I didn't print clearly. I didn't even use ink!(pauses again) But it was kind of fun.

--(giggles) It was, wasn't it? I'll never forget how cute you looked getting your fingerprints.

--So now we've got our I-171H, eh? But that doesn't always mean you'll adopt, does it? I mean, shouldn't you see the agency or something, makesure everything's okay?

--I already did.

--And?

--I'm five documents along.

--Five documents! And they're all notarized, certified and authenticated okay?

--Just great. There was one small scare when the agency couldn't see the notary's middle initial, but it showed up just fine under the magnifying glass.

--Thank God. And you, honey? Are you feeling okay?

--I'm feeling fine. As long as I know you're happy about this.

--Happy? I'm thrilled! It's always a shock at first when something like this happens, but of course I'm happy.
