We Are Active!

I'm very excited to announce we are now officially active with our adoption agency.  It has taken us 5 months and many sheets of paper, lots of time, and even more sleepless nights to get us here but we finally made it over one giant hurdle.  I wanted to say thank you to everyone for your support and kind words, they have meant so much to us!

If you want to look at our profile, you can click here and it will take you directly to our page.  I do want to ask if you know someone who is thinking about adoption as an option for them, direct them to our agency. You don't have to mention us, but I know that our agency will make anyone wanting to create an adoption plan welcome and supported and will do everything they can to make the process as easy as possible.  They have been extremely helpful and profession and I'm glad we've chosen them for this experience.

Almost there!

Last Friday we sent off our notarized Activation Agreement and the activation fee to the agency!! Huge, huge step in the process.  This means that, once the agency receives everything, we will be active within 24 hours and our profile will be shown to perspective birth parents.  We are done with paperwork, emails, and everything else for a while.  Now comes the waiting part, which I am horrible at.  But the holidays are coming up so that means I will be busy cooking, baking and planning Christmas.  I'm guessing that should keep me occupied for a few months.  I told myself I wouldn't start getting antsy or concerned until at least June and I want to make that a true statement! My parents are coming over for my birthday next year and then my best friend will be over in May so I'll have a lot to look forward to and many plans to make.

Thank you for all the support and kind words that have come our way.   It means so much knowing that we have an awesome support group with all of our friends and family.  We are so incredibly excited for whatever the future holds!
