Profile Update

All,

Here is a quick update. Our adoption profile has been updated on the A&B website. It is basically a shortened version of our full profile that birth parents can view online.

Check it out and keep it in mind if you hear of any potential birth parents for us.

Otherwise we are in hurry up and wait mode :)

One More Milestone

YEA - We are finally done with MAPP class. It was a rough 10 weeks! We still have some hoops to jump through before we are certified by the state, but the longest and toughest one is over.

We met several great couples in the class. I hope we keep in touch as we all go down road together.

Next steps:

• Finish our on-line profile for A&B (This weekend)
• Pick an adoption lawyer (Soon)
  
• Take trans-racial class (Soon)
• CPR / First aid certificate (June 24)

Thanks for your continued support and prayers. We will keep you posted.

Another Update

All -

We heard some comments that we had not been updating this enough, so here is our current status :)

We finished our home study and it is all approved and blessed. We also finished our profile and dear birth mother files. They are at the printer right now and should be back tomorrow. Here is a copy of the dear birth mother letter if you are curious. (Also, feel free and share with anyone you think might be looking into adoption.)

Our next steps are to complete the MAPP class on Tuesday and finalize with the state and with with our agency. That should take a few more weeks tops then we will officially be on the waiting list. As we have shared with you all, that wait could be weeks, months or years. Your prayers for a short wait and successful match are appreciated.

That's it for now. Hopefully we will have more news soon. :)
