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.

Emily, make a video, sign in to youtube, post the video, then post the link on your profile page. That should do the trick. Hope you two get chosen soon, you will make a great mother.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. Can I do a slide show with still pictures and words, maybe music on there or do I create it on a different program and upload it to youtube. I have never done it, I will have to play with it tonight or this weekend. Thank you for the kind words. I hear congratulations is in order for you and Tonya, great news. Thanks again
ReplyDeleteYou would create it on different program...if you are using windows, you should have windows movie maker, which you can make a slide show on. It is pretty easy to use, and you can put both text, music, as well as any "special effect" fades, intros, what have you. Thanks for the congratulations, it is very exciting. Best of luck with the process, someone can't help but pick you soon.
