We are getting closer!!!

Since our last update, we have been working on completing our family profile. It is a much longer process than we expected but we are almost done! The profile is what perspective birth-moms will look at when considering the family she would like to choose. You can imagine that knowing this has put a little pressure on us to really consider carefully which pictures to choose and how to present the story of US! As soon as we are completely finished, we will post a link to our online profile for you to view and forward to others.

Since this is pretty much the last step before going "live" we are asking everyone we know to please spread the word that we are READY TO ADOPT! The more people who share our story, the more likely our profile will fall into the hands of a woman considering us as her child's adoptive family. Thank you so much for helping us with this, and we will be sure to forward our profile info as soon as its done.

There are still some classes that we will need to complete as we move forward so we can continue to educate ourselves on adoption. In February we had a fun time taking a Baby Care Class. We learned all the basics of caring for a newborn and Brandon learned how to change a diaper!!! The first of MANY, we know :-).

Of course, nothing beats the real thing. We were thrilled to meet and spend time with our nephew Kylan last month. We had fun feeding him, changing him, changing our own clothes....Miriam got spit up on quite a bit :-), and cuddling him.
