Alright, now that I have some more time, I will fill you all in on the adoption waiting game.

I've talked to several people this week, regarding several possible options. I'll give you the run down!

adoption attorney: We are set to do a private infant adoption through our attorney. We have a nibble about a possible birthmother, and even though we are really excited, we haven't heard much. At least we know the basics of the process, cost and such, and it looks like it would be a very viable option that would (at least through our attorney) end up costing us nothing after the adoption tax credit. Praise God! Now to come up with the money up front. :) fun fun!


adoption coordinator at our agency: She has submitted our homestudy twice this week for 2 different placements. a 2.5 year old girl and a sibling set, 3 and 4 I think, a boy and girl. So we wait. If we don't hear back in the next 2 weeks, we assume they've gone to another home.

foster placement coordinator: We upped our age preference to 7 and under ! Wow! Big step of faith on our part, but that means they'd be school age, so that would be cool. They said that us upping our age, should help us get a placement very soon! If any body wants to come help us figure out where to put all this stuff I'd be really grateful for the help!

We also found out we can take placements even with our renovation project going, so that's awesome. As long as we take precautions to keep the kids safe, we're well on our way to getting a placement soon.

I guess that's about it as far as the adoption update!

Keep your eyes out for new posts, hopefully this will turn into a parent blog soon!
