GUNCLES

We chose open adoption as our route.


The "Guncles" (aka - Bill & Scout) have been excited for this episode to air... mostly because we've been anxiously waiting to share our news with everyone!

Tori and Dean (well, let's not blame Dean)... Tori has a knack for turning kids' parties into full-blown events, as you know. Let's not forget Liam's first birthday extravaganza last season! Yes (fine!) we'll admit that we don't help the cause by tossing out outrageous idea after outrageous idea! But, Tori's sense of style and creative thinking truly comes to life in the form of an amazing party. The only snag in this year's big car theme soiree was that Liam woke up with a fever the morning of the party. When we arrived at the house to hear the congestion in his chest, it just broke our hearts. Poor Monkey! He had this dream birthday party waiting for him and knowing how much fun he would have there and also knowing that he was way too sick to go just brought a tear to our eyes.

So excited! We just completed an open adoption through the iac. If you'd like some ideas or to hear our experience I would love for you to drop us an e-mail and I'll give you a link to our blog and such. We waited 4 months for a match and 2.5 months later we have our baby boy. He is 5 months now. We had an over all awesome experience with only a couple of tiny snags here and there.

It is a great ride to becoming parents!

Best of Luck! Get that paper work completed!

Bill and Scout - Haven't seen the episode from last night yet, but recognized some of your paperwork. It was great to see that you are using the same agency (IAC) as my partner (Katie)and I. We are going through the NC office and FINALLY finished all our homestudy paperwork! Next step - the actual visits with the social worker (and working on the dear birthmother letter). I don't know if you even read these things - but if you want to keep in touch w/ someone on the east coast who is going through the same thing - shoot me an email. Congrats on your beginning the journey to parenthood!

Hey Guncles!!!! I think you two are great. If you ever decide you want a baby of your own I would be honored to be a surrogate for you. Good luck and you will be great dads

I wish all the best with the adoption... My husband and I tried for many years without much success. Laws, rules, amount kept changing; sadly we just gave up... I pray that the two of you have better luck!!!

Guncles,

I saw that great adoption center visit episode on here and just watched it. You guys are so sweet! It was funny too! They should do more of the one on one stuff with you guys... or your own Guncles show!

You guys are great on the show! Thanks for making us laugh!!


Hi Guncle Bill & Guncle Scout,

My sisters and I watch the show religiously and we are very excited about that you're going to adopt. I've been thinking of open adoption as well and I think it would be cool to watch a great couple like you guys going through it. I'm sure many people agree with me. A lot of people don't know about open adoption and so this is a great way to show the world.

Best of luck and I'll see you next Tuesday... on my TV!

Watching the Guncles going through the adoption would be a great show all on it's own. You boys are both so cute and sweet. Maybe Tori and Dean could do a crossover episode. I know I'd watch you guys that's for sure. Would be much better than these other shows with kids (besides Tori & Dean of course!). You guys are funny on camera too!

I vote TEAM GUNCLES!


Wish you both the best. You fan - Heather P. from Oakland

OMG - My daughter asked for her own "Guncle" today! Love watching you guys & I can't wait to see more!

Love,

Tisha

Hi Guncles,

I was super excited to see last night's show and to hear that you're adopting AND having a ceremony! You guys seem amazing & I love that you're such a big part of the show this year. Hopefully you'll be on even more in the upcoming weeks!

Wishing you the best!

I love that you too are becoming parents, there are so many children that need all the love that you have. Best of luck, and congrats on the ceremony, you are a cute couple! :)

You Guncles are very special.

It will be amazing if we can
watch on TV this extraordinary experience you two are about to begin.


Good luck and don't give up!:)

The two of you are great and I am so happy for you. Tori said it best when she told you all that you would be great parents. I think the fact that you are doing open adoption is absolutely wonderful. Please post pics of your commitment ceremony, I am sure it will be beautiful! Love all of you on Tori & Dean!

Hi Guys,
What great news..I was almost as excited as Tori.
I think you both will make great parents..For starters you have already had a test run with Liam & Stella, and past with "flying colors" if Tori let you watch them, and since your're going for open adoption shows you have the best interest and welfare of your future child in mind.
Wishing you both all the best.
