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
