Online Profile

Since we have been back things have been very busy. We got an email from our social worker when we returned stating that she was taking some time off because of a death in her family. She gave me a contact name for someone to deal with while she is out, I have contacted her to make sure that things are in order. I am a little bit controlling and wanted to make sure that everything was in place for this person to see birth mothers in her absence and that she had our portfolio. It is a little nerve racking since this woman has not met us and doesn't know us on the same level that our social worker does. Hopefully she will be back in the office soon. They have posted our profile online and I have put the link in this post. Please check it out and of course pass it on if you know anyone who might know someone who is wanting to place their child for adoption. One of the woman, Angela, who is on the site with us has a video link at the end of her letter, if anyone knows how to do something like this please let us know, we would love to add it to our spot on the site. This online profile is not as detailed as our scrapbook is that the social worker is showing and we would like to add to it.

We have started to prepare the nursery since we have returned home. This preparation gives us some control over the situation and is getting us ready for our baby. As it all starts to come together we will share pictures. We have also been working on our essays for the grants and preparing for a yard sale we are going to have here in the fall. Thank you again for everyone that is following our journey and supporting us.

Amazing Support

We just returned from our trip up north and we are so thankful for the amount of support that we received. Our family and friends showed us so much love, positive energy, and support that we know now more than ever that we are bringing our child into an amazing environment. We shared the story of our adoption journey thus far with everyone around us and they all embraced it. We had gentle questions, encouraging words, name suggestions and ofcourse baby advice. On top of all of the emotional support we received we also were given very generous donations. We received a total of $1,028 towards the adoption while we were up there. This is gives us an overwhelming feeling that we really will make this happen and will bring our baby home.

Family, friends and love are a powerful thing. This journey has been tough and will continue to have its ups and downs but with the people around us we know that it will work out. Our baby will be blessed to have so many people in their life that love and support them and helped bring them home to us. Adoption is an amazing thing and we have been blessed with this journey and experience and with an amazing support system. We can not say thank you enough to the people that surround and embrace us during this time. I assure you that our child will always feel this love and will know how important they were to all of us before we even knew they were coming to us.

Again thank you so much to everyone around us, we are so thankful for each of you that reads this blog, prays for us, donates, and loves us and our child. We will soon have the greatest gift of all.....Our Family!
