Profile pages

So here are some of the pages we have done for our profile. Have the last page, birthparent letter page, page of just dan, page of just me and fun activity pages left to do. There will be a total of 10 pages (5 front and back). Hopefully it's what our potential birthmother is looking for :o)

Very sad news and extra prayers needed

I feel heavy hearted in posting good news and updates now as I just read a post from a fellow adoptive parent and also 'neighbor' in Minnesota, Rachel and her husband---they just recently received word that their adoption agency has lost their licence. After a long wait to become parents...struggling with infertility, going through the entire process and have been waiting all fall for a blessing to fall into their arms, it has all been pulled right away from them, not only to mention that the large sum of money they have already put forth towards bringing their little angel home, could possibly be a lost cause and non-refundable. This instantly brought me to tears reading this and my heart aches for these two. If you believe in the power of our good Lord, please, please pray that they find peace and strengh in all this and that positive things are in store for this couple.

Long time no post :o)

Ok...Things are moving and shaking now. The last few weeks Dan and I have been busting our humps to finish our 'new office' downstairs to make room for nursery upstairs. Office is completely painted minus the closet doors and removing the existing furniture from the room. We plan this weekend and this week to start moving the office from upstairs down. I am traveling to Minneapolis on Sunday morning to get the rest of the major pieces needed for the nursery (as well as a few christmas gifts) :o) Should be fun. Looks like by the end of the month we should have all our main necessities--carseat, all nursery furniture, pack and play/bassinet and probably some carriers and maybe even a really cute diaper bag! Yay! It might all end up sitting here set up for awhile, but the fact that we'll have it and be ready is a relief. Just hope baby comes sooner than later so that we wont have to keep the door closed so that it wont be so sad to think about our wait. We plan to meet with Amanda sometime next week to turn in our profile. I'll scan a few pages from our profile to show everyone when I'm off work at 4.....SPeaking of work...good news at my meeting yesterday that we are finally making steps to get us paid per line at MeritCare which means an extreme jump in pay for me! Dan says we can adopt ten more babies now--he obviously liked the news :o) Just means more shoes and clothes for baby :o) Yay! Will post pictures of profile later today...stay tuned :o)
