Profile Book Drama

So I was so proud of the work I did on my profile book.  I sent it to the first editor and we went through two rounds of changes.  Then I sent it to the second editor. Yes this is a big process since the birthmother chooses the family she wants based upon these books.  They sent back two pages of suggestions for revisions!  Well the revisions they want me to do, I can't do, because the program I made the book in won't let me do half their suggestions. So now, I have to start all over in a different program.  This is so frustrating because I thought we would be a "waiting family" over the holidays. We could be months away from that now. I guess I better get to work!

This is amazing as the couple meets their newborn son for the first time. Had Frankie and I in tears. We can't wait for that moment.

Profile Book- NOT Finished

So after I sent our profile book in for editing, looks like I have a lot of changes to make!  They said it usually takes 2-4 times to edit it before it is finalized.

Third and Final Home Visit

Today was our last home visit with Kate.  We discussed finances and ways to fund our adoption.  We also had our last home safety check and finalized all of our millions of options for the adoption. Now it takes about a month to type up and put together the home study.  After that we will be a waiting family!  Waiting for a birthmother to pick us as her child's parents!

Family Profile Book Finished!

I finished our Family Profile Book this weekend!  This is the photo book that the birth moms will look at to pick out which family they would like to adopt their child to. It is a very important part of the selection process.
