We are official now! We finally finished all of the pre-adoption paperwork, interviews, appointments, etc. Our profile is up at https://itsaboutlove.org/ial/profiles/30804633/ourMessage.jsf So go check it out or share it with anyone you know that might be considering adoption.
I was super stressed about the home visit and making sure everything went just perfect. And of course I was worried for nothing. It was pretty chill. We really like our case worker, he is a very down to earth, nice guy. Everything went smoothly and now we are good to get a baby!
It is crazy to think that it can happen anytime now. It could be a week or five years; hopefully closer to three months to a year. It'd be hard to have to wait a very long time because I feel like we've already waited so long on our journey to get to this point. But we are here now and we are very excited!
Daniel and I just posted our profile on facebook today. The more we can get our names out there the higher our chances are of finding a child to adopt. We are so grateful for our friends and family that support us and help us out so much. Many of them don't even know what a strength and support they have been to us through this journey.
We had some wonderful holidays this year. Thanksgiving we got to spend a week with my family, and Christmas with Daniel's family. Tonight we are going to ring in the New Year with some friends. You can't ask for better than all that. We are some pretty blessed kids. So bring on 2014 - it is going to be a great year!
We did family pictures for a Christmas present and we are spelling out our last name. We got lucky enough to get the letter "D." These are some of the pics for that.
You guys look amazing and will be incredible parents. All the best to you!
