Profile ready...almost!

I feel like I have neglected to post and update about our process. Time flies and unlike our first adoption process where I could blog until the wee hours of the morning, I now have a more pressing role as a mommy.

So, we have been busy with pushing the adoption along. We updated our homestudy and officially have it completed. We also had a number of other little tasks to take care of which we have also completed. The big one though is definitely the Profile. It took me much longer than I anticipated, but I finally got it done this past week and sent it to our facilitator for review and final approval. In case you aren't aware, the profile is essentially the bible in any domestic adoption process. It is nothing more than a 6-8 page book about your family which includes a letter to a birthmother about why you would be best to raise her baby. Arts and crafts and scrapbooking is not my greatest asset, but I bought some software and it was pretty straightforward. I was happy with the final outcome and now we are just waiting to hear from our agency this week. Once it is approved, I will overnight them several copies....and then the waiting begins!

We are very excited at the possibility of becoming parents again soon in the near future. Nate will be an amazing big brother and we are looking forward to watching their relationship flourish over the years.

I hope to update every couple of weeks with good news. We have a monthly call with our facilitating agency and during this call we will get an update on our progress. Of course, once we're matched- we will share with everyone!

Happy April...
