Hello, March!

March is here and all things adoption related are moving along! Our final home study visit was last week. Our social worker updated us on the things they are waiting on- FBI clearance for both of us and my Massachusetts CORI check. Once those things are in, she will have the complete home study written up to present to us for our approval. Once we approve it, they will send it to Angel Adoption and we will be what is considered as "home study approved" There were so many steps and processes we had to get through to get to this point and now that we are in the home stretch, it's becoming more real!

Speaking of becoming more real- our adoption agency has put together our profile!!!!! We worked really hard gathering pictures, participating in a photo shoot (thanks Erin, Olivia and Melanie!) and putting together little stories about us and our family, a thank you letter to birth mothers, etc so to see it all in print was very exciting and surreal. This is happening! Angel will immediately be presenting our profile to birth moms and once we are home studied approved, our profile will become public and we will be able to share it with all of you!

As each day passes we are getting closer to our dreams of becoming parents. We can't thank everyone enough for the positive thoughts, prayers and donations. There is still time to donate if you would like! Contributions can be made via PayPal or we can provide you with our address if writing a check is your preference (email us at fundingbabyf@gmail.com)

Here is an updated picture of our puzzle! thanks again for your generosity

With love,
Karen and Jon
