As we have now gotten to this point of now being chosen, I guess we need to focus on what's next. Right now, we are still filling out forms & contracts & getting things together on the financial side. Our agency is starting to get stuff ready for the hopeful time of placement & what they need for the ICPC(Interstate Compact) so that when the time comes, we are able to take our child home across state lines. We also will be working on setting up a time to go meet Miss A in person before delivery. Her due date is toward the end of November so we hope to have some time to do this. We know this must be a hard time for her & we hope that meeting us in person will give her a better idea who we are. We also hope that we can gain as much info from each other so that we may be able to pass that info on to our child in the future. This is a great time for us to get to know each other a little.
We also are working on getting the last bit of work done on Mary's house. Brian worked there on Saturday for a bit & just has a couple of things to finish up. My mother-in-law & I are going there on Tuesday to paint the garage. Hoping we can get that done! I will put the address of our church for those still wanting to donate money to this sponsorship project. We have a short amount of time to come up with the remainder of the money & we pray that God will provide what we need.

ReplyDeleteWhen we met our son's birthmother for the first time, we brought lots of photos about our family activities that are not in our profile album. We took self timer photos about our daily routines ex: breakfast together, reading bible stories, visiting different places, even silly photos,etc.
ReplyDeleteExpectant mothers who are considering adoption for their babies love to see the house that their babies will be living. The photos were be able to give our son's birthmother a concrete picture about how her birthson will live his life with us as our son.
Good luck!
