Yeah! Another mom in Lousiana will be looking at our family album tomorrow. This baby was born 5 days ago. Could this be the one?

The first match for a family in our program at our agency brings a little confusion for my heart, but mostly it is filled with joy at knowing that a baby has been matched with his family and that our program "works".

What an exciting month! We learned of a mom in Louisiana that was going to look at our profile and two others in Arizona that are considering adoption. Praying in particular for these three moms!

ONE YEAR!!!! It's been one year since we took our first active steps toward adopting our next child. One year ago we submitted our initial application to our agency. We wouldn't be eligible to be shown to families until March.

Our second call regarding being shown to a mom considering adoption for her baby. Kyle got to receive the call from our agency, which was fun and exciting for him.

Our first call about a mom who is planning adoption for her little one, that we might be the right fit for. We aren't ready, this is sooner than we expected, our home study report won't be ready for a few weeks! We scrambled and finished our album & letter and sent it to our agency, to forward the link to the agency working with the parents. Now that we've hurried....it's time to wait & pray.

Our home visit concludes our home study. The report won't we ready for 4-6 weeks, but in the meantime we will continue working on our family album. That way once our home study report is done, our albums will be ready to be sent to the agency in GA and shown to birth families.

All of our documents have been received and now we'll start our interviews. There will be three (well 4), a couples interview with Kyle and I, individual interviews for each of us and a home visit where she'll check out our house and talk with Aviya.

Submitted the remainder of our home study documents. We have two things our agency is waiting on. One we know will be received next week, the other is a state background check (Colorado) that was delayed and we are hoping will be processed quickly.
