- A very kind friend gave us our first donation toward our adoption costs. We are so humbled and grateful! Thank you!
- As many of you know from Facebook, another wonderful friend got us our first baby gift- a onsie all the way from France. It was SO heartwarming. And shortly after my sister sent us Baby M.innetonka moccasins. It is really starting to feel real!
- We submitted all of our essays and photos for our family profile (the book the potential birth moms look through to choose an adoptive family). It is SO scary to know so much of your future rides on you coming across well in print.
- As our excitement grows so does our anxiety. We are both feeling so invested in this process now and we are finally feeling like our dream to be parents is within our reach. It can be difficult to imagine things actually working out after so many years of infertility. We really need prayers right now that we'd be able to renew our faith and trust in God each day no matter what setbacks might lay ahead.
This is exciting!
ReplyDeleteThanks, DM & AM!
DeleteThis is so exciting! Yall flew through this process! We officially started beginning of May and still can't schedule home study visits because of the Federal fingerprints not being back yet...bummer. Hopefully by the end of July. Where did you order your photo book from? Or is it mostly online? Looking forward to hearing more updates!
ReplyDeleteBecause we have to have so many printed- for the multiple agencies- CAC recommends just printing them at Kinkos or something and having them spiral bound. The cost of 20 shutterfly books would add up quickly.
DeletePraying for your home study to be a breeze! And praying for the birth mom of your future baby :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, M! We really appreciate it!
DeleteYay! Sounds like things are going so well. :) Especially love that you've received some gifts for your little one and a donation!! It's such a thrill when it all starts to feel real!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stephanie!
