A New Post! Finally!
I just wanted
to give the latest update on our adoption process. We attempted the process
several times over the past year and each time we’ve gotten up to almost the
day of the birth then found out we weren’t going to be able to adopt the child
for one reason or another. Well, in November a friend of my husband’s parents
heard about a little girl that was in foster care and would possibly be up for
adoption soon. The foster parents, who’ve had her since birth, were not going
to be able to adopt her, so they were looking for a good home of someone who
would be interested in adoption once she becomes “adoptable” We decided to meet
her and immediately fell in love with her! To get her in our home, we first
have to become her foster parents, so we’ve been taking classes in the evenings
and getting our house inspected to become licensed. We’ve also been spending
lots of time with her, so we can begin to form a bond with her. Things are
going well and on January 24th she will be moving into our home. We
will be her foster parents until she is adoptable. We have no guarantees that
she will become our child permanently, but we’ve decided to do what we can to
make it happen. We’re just going to love her and
treat her as if she’s our own, no matter what happens. She is very healthy and
happy! Her name is the name Chris & I would have picked for a girl, so we're uber happy about that! So, there you have the latest! J
