Home Study - Contact Made

I've contacted the guy that will be doing our home study so that's one step made. Unfortunately he is out of the country until the beginning of April so that means that we'll be waiting that much longer to begin.   I can't get too ahead of myself as I know this whole entire endeavor will be about the hurry up and wait.  At the moment I'm very anxious for the Home Study to be over with because that's our biggest hurdle in my mind.  If we can pass the Home Study I will feel infinitely better about the whole process.

Once we finally can get going with the adoption I'll try to post more and keep everyone informed as much as possible.  Unfortunately there just isn't much going on right now. 

Pampered Chef Fundraiser

 My friend Lura has graciously offered to do a Pampered Chef Fundraiser for our adoption.  At the end of the show she'll donate 20% of her commission to help us bring home our tiny bambino/a.  She's totally awesome!! You can follow the progress of her adoption here if you'd like.

When you begin to shop online all you need to do is search by either Samantha or Farley.  All items can be shipped directly to you which I find totally fantastic.  And I must say there is some incredible new stuff that came out this month.  It's a new catalog and they've also introduced lots of new items.  I'm going to be broke by the end of this thing! :)

Anyway, let me know if you have any questions.  

First Post

So this is going to be my adoption blog.  I'm hoping to use it as a way to keep in touch with family and friends throughout the process of the adoption.  Right now we have finally made the first step towards starting the process, we have contacted a person able to do our Home Study.  As soon as he gets back to us, we'll have officially begun the process.  Our goal is that while it is being (hopefully) approved and finalized that we will search for an adoption agency.  I've also contacted a woman here locally that could help us get in touch with pregnant military members/teenagers who are looking to place their baby for adoption.  But one thing at a time.  

Pacing myself and trying not to get overwhelmed will the be the biggest challenge I will have to face.  With the support of my husband, friends and family I hope to be able to remain as level headed as possible and keep my perspective.  I know I can do this!!
