So we finished part two of the home study this week. We are just waiting on the county background check and the state abuse registry paperwork to come back. We still need a couple of letters of reference to be returned and then we are on our way to getting the stamp of approval. We have completed the portfolio and it looks great. It truly shows who we are and why we want a child and we have to offer that child. This weekend we are going to complete the letter to the birth mother. This has been a struggle to put together but I think we are finally there and now we are ready to hand write it out, by doing this it will be more personal than typing it.
We have purchased a couple books to read about adoption. The one that has been great to read is Chicken Soup for the Adopted Soul. This book is amazing and extremely inspirational. Things are a little stressful right now with Jeremy's business in the high season, trying to figure out finances for the adoption and get the homestudy done and this book boosts our spirits. Some of the stories are so powerful and we can relate to many of the couples. Positive Energy is a powerful thing!
