searching for baby G: Waiting is the hardest part

Waiting is by far the hardest part of the entire process so far. Last year consisted of us being so busy getting things together it just flew by! Now we have had way more time to ourselves. The Holidays kept us busy - we had a full two weeks off and we spent every waking moment with our families.

Our profile went in the waiting family book on November 17th along with that our family was posted on Lutheran Social Service's website .It has all the same content - just another form of exposure to help us find the right person:)

Here it is if you want to see it : LSS Website

Here is the introduction to our profile on LSS's Website

LSS's Facebook Family of the Week Post

In addition to being placed on the website we were their Facebook Family of the Week ! We had sooo many family members, friends and even strangers helping us "share" their post! Honestly the wait is hard, but seeing all the support we have from everyone really helps us get through it. So THANK YOU to everyone for everything you have done for us.
The entire post said,
"Hi! We're Jordan and Kaylah Gerads from Otsego, MN. We met over eleven years ago at a campground in Crosslake, Minnesota, when we were barely teenagers and have been married now for two years. We and our little teacup yorkie, Padraig, are incredibly excited to grow our family through adoption! We love to play board and card games, attend sporting events, and go on annual week-long camping trips with our family. To learn more about us, please visit our Facebook page atwww.facebook.com/jordanandkaylahadopt. Feel free to email us at jordanandkaylahadopt@gmail.com or contact our adoption worker, Dianne Delaney at 320-251-7700 or Dianne.Delaney@lssmn.org. "

Also our facebook page reached over 500 likes with the help of Kaylah's sister. She noticed we were only 13 away and not only did she help us get 13 people to follow our story she got 53!!

We can not wait until we get to share our lives with our son or daughter. This Christmas we kept imagining what life will be like once we are a family of three. We hung a stocking to symbolize the love we already have for a child we have not met.

Our pup is also anxiously awaiting a human brother or sister. However he does love testing everything out to be sure it's safe. We feel so bad that we didn't write more about him in our profile- he is so spoiled and he gets to go anywhere and everywhere with us..minus the grocery store and work:)
