We are still waiting, but think we are getting really close to being available for birth parents to choose from! Our social worker sent the rough draft of our home study about three weeks ago. So weird to read an 11 page report about your life and how this person who you have spent a few hours with at most is reporting on your ability to parent a child. The good news is that she thinks we will be great parents! The report is now in the hands of our agency’s branch manager waiting for her final approval. We were also given approval to order our “Dear Birth Mother” letters from the printer. They arrived on Tuesday and we had to sign 100 of them and get them shipped off to California. Once the letters arrive in CA and we get the final approval from the branch manager, we “Go on the Books”, and will be available for birth parents to view our information, see pictures of us, and request a copy of our letter. We are hopeful that this might happen before Thanksgiving! Please keep us in your payers as we move forward with this exciting journey!
I also wanted to share that there is a new show on The Logo TV called “The Baby Wait”. Each show follows a couple through their adoption journey. The first couple worked with the same agency that we are working with. It is a great show that so far has really done a great job at capturing the process and real emotions and relationships. I am going to try and include a link for the show. If you have the time,I think you would enjoy it! If you end up watching it, let me know what you think! KLEENEX will be necessary! 🙂
