Active August!!

Thoughts, adoption cards ordered, written home study received, more pictures edited! 

Thoughts--

We can't help but search and read others adoption stories, it gives us hope that our day will come. It also makes us day dream about the day we get the "call" that an expecting parent (or parents) would like to meet us, and boy do we want to meet them! We have been watching the families at our agency get chosen and see their status go from "Waiting Family" to "Pending Placement" and we get chills every time! We anxiously await the phone call that changes our lives forever. Will it be a call from our adoption worker, will it be a call from an expecting parent directly, is the child already born, being born or still growing in their mommy's tummy?  Does the mom want to be part of our lives just as much as we want her to be a part of ours? 

We would say we can't wait until our story has a happy ending, but what we really can't wait for is until our story has a happy beginning. 

We ordered our adoption cards last weekend and we should be receiving them in the mail on the 28th! 

Here is a picture of the front and back:)

Our adoption worker sent us our completed home study rough draft yesterday! We have some minor revisions needed and then we should receive the finalized one so we can get our profile up on parentprofiles.com  :--)

Here are some other pictures we took for our profile!  

This one I thought was hilarious!! Obviously we aren't using it but it really wants to make someone pick us doesn't it!! HAHAH

Small Update

#5

Hello Everyone! We figured we should give a quick update. Last we knew we were number 11 on the waiting list and we wouldn't get notification until we reached number five. WELL... After 1.5 months we reached #5!!  This means six families have been placed in the last month and a half, that sounds promising to us:) After we enter the book, we then have the opportunity to have our profile seen by all the expecting parents that go through our agency :)

This notification kicked us into high gears! We have to start preparing our profile so when we get the invitation to enter the book we are ready. 

We took some photos to put on our profile and make our adoption business cards with. We will probably only use one or two of them on the actual profile itself and the rest will go on our website! Thank you too Kaylah's mom (future grandma) for taking them! 

We have also been patiently waiting for our adoption worker to finish our written home study so we can put our profile up on parentprofiles.com. We received half of it today to review, and it is looking great! She hopes to have it complete this Friday so we can make our edits and send it back !:)


Thanks for listening!
