Pregnancy vs Adoption

Ok--this is NOT going to be a controversial post...just comparing some of the milestones of pregnancy to milestones to adoption....Here it goes...Below are some of the "biggies" in pregnancy, followed by their adoption milestones, followed by when they happened to us, followed by what week it would correlate to in the pregnancy....check it out

Have your last period = Mail in your application = 1/4 = Wk 0
Conception = Agency contract = 1/11 = Wk 2
Positive Pregnancy Test = Get your dossier packet in the mail = 2/11 = Wk 5
Morning Sickness = Homestudy visit = 3/5 = Wk 8
First hear the heartbeat = Dossier mailed to agency = 4/3 = Wk 12.5
Ultrasound time = First see the picture and info of your child = 4/5 = Wk 13
Feel flutters of movement = Mail your acceptance papers to agency = 4/28 = Wk 16
"Big" ultrasound mid pregnancy = Case submitted for court = 6/14 = Week 22
Diabetic screening = Appeared in court = 7/28 = Week 27
Braxton Hicks contractions = New Birth Certificate issued = 8/19 = Week 31
Labor = Leave to bring your child home =   +/- 10/4 = Week 39
Delivery = Moment you step into your home and have all your kiddos with you  +/- 10/10 = Week 40
