The Profile Books are here!

Our profile books came in today! I'm so excited. I'm having to becareful how much I read them, because my over-analytical self will find every problem and I found a few... but overall I am really pleased. They came out awesome. (Thanks, Jill for posting yours on your blog because that's where I found the mixbook link). I loved working with mixbook and would use them again. In fact, depending on the age group that I get to teach next year, I may use them soon. Anyway, I digress.
   It was actually kinda cool, because I was babysitting when they came in and the postal worker called because no one was home and asked where we wanted them left or if I wanted her to take them to the post office. I thought that was neat. I've never had that happen before and I'm extremely grateful.
   So Jimmy got home first, and the sweetheart that he is waited until I got home so we could open together. I'm so excited. It'll probably be Thursday before I get them to the agency. I'm getting a new nephew tomorrow and I have an appointment in the same town on Thurs. So we'll probably just do it all in one day and make it so much easier. I can't wait ot get them to the agency. Hopefully we'll be being shown to parents very very soon! Yay!

Adoption Profile Book

So after many hours, lots of changes, and some tears at the end our profile book is finally done! I ordered it last night and it should be here by the 7th. Our adoption specialist is currently working on writing up our approved homestudy. So hopefully very soon we will be on the waiting list and our profiles being shown to birth parents. We are so excited! Hopefully the book will come in before then. In the mean time, I'll be working on job applications, adoption grants, and trying to recoup from school, and getting our online profile ready. God has been very gracious and has provided all our needs so far and I know He will be faithful to continue to supply them. Here is a sneak peak at our profile until then.
