So I really think the paperwork process for adoption is like the "labor" part that adoptive parents go through. But, we are proud to announce that almost all of our paperwork is complete! We have turned in almost all of the hard copy documents that are required. We just have to get them a copy of our temple sealing certificate. We have completed the entire pre-home study online application, and now we just have to create our profile! This is the part I'm nervous about. It's hard to know what to say. There are no words adequate enough to express our love and respect for the men and women out there who consider placing their children for adoption. And I'm just nervous that I won't say the right thing or something. This is the point where we just have to pray and ask that Heavenly Father will guide our words.
Now we just keep working, and waiting for our caseworker to arrange the home study. Then all we have to do is wait for our background checks to come through, and we'll be APPROVED! It's like seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. But of course, after approval, the real fun begins: the waiting game. But we've decided not to use the word "waiting." We prefer to use the word "finding." By that we mean that we're going to do everything within our power to find the RIGHT baby for our family. I hope all of you out there are willing to help us work to find our baby!
