I have been happy all day. Want to know why? Because, after eight months of applications and paper work, our adoption application was approved today, and our profile went online for birth mothers to look at.
So now, a birth mother could choose us at any time--and we could get a baby. It almost feels like I am pregnant...I hope we are chosen within the next nine months! (Though it rarely happens that fast, but I am not thinking about that right now.)
Check out our adoption profile here.
I will be posting more information later. Right now, I need to go to bed...but I just wanted to share the happy news.
P.S. I have been playing around with different blog backgrounds...I must be "nesting," HA!...but I don't think I love this one. It might be different tomorrow.
Bet you find yourself pregnant by next month. :) Congrats! I'd pick you guys in a heartbeat.

You guys are awesome. Any kid would be lucky to have you as parents.
ReplyDeleteI love your profile! You guys will be great parents. One of Max's high school friends and missionary companions just adopted a little girl. You can read their story on their blog (just go to Todd and Brooke on our blog). Adoption is a great blessing for both the baby and the parents.

ReplyDeleteRachel,
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with your profile. As you know, my husband and I have been through the adoption process as well and am familiar with the ins and outs. So many profiles seem the same and are sometimes superficial, but yours is straight from the heart. I know it will be picked up quickly. Great job; the hardest part is already over. I love you and think about you often.
