Good evening!!! At this point, we are working on our Profile which is what birth moms will be handed when considering families for their child. There is a lot of pressure on this book (which is a Shutterfly picture book with lots of information to back up the photos of us and our lives). This is the first and sometimes the only impression we get to impress upon a birth mom/parents... a lot is riding on our book... Picking the best photos, writing our lives,..our hopes, our dreams... our promises to her about the life we will give our beautiful blessing...
I am so excited, but nervous at the same time. Will a birth mom like our book... our photos, our information, our story enough to want to know more about us...? I know we have the favor of the Lord, but I also trust that others who are walking similar paths as us and whose hearts also lead them to adopt, are also abiding under the blessings of the Lord. We pray everyday for the birth parents and baby, to bring us together, to raise our profile to the top of the list and to show us favor. And on that prayer we stand!
Please continue to pray for our journey, for creativity as I finish the profile and for the Lord's favor to be upon our profile and for His timing! It's already been along wait to get us to this point, now that we are coming up on the finish-line, we don't want to rush the Lord. Our baby is out there, and I know when he/she is ready, we will come together. Thank you everyone for your unending support and prayers!!
Please continue to spread our information and fundraising, we are only $8000 away from the total amount needed to adopt our baby!! And we are only 86 puzzle pieces away from finishing our puzzle! Please continue to be patient as we piece it together, it truly is a very difficult puzzle... but totally worth it when it's all put together and displayed in the nursery! God Bless you all!!!
