In mid-March, Child and Family services sent us a letter informing us that we were officially home studied approved! That means that all forms were submitted, all of the background checks were completed and our social worker finalized our biography that was sent off to our adoption agency. Jon and I (and Bronson!) are now considered a "waiting family" which means we are cleared to be matched with a birthmother/birth family at any moment. So now the waiting begins.
Angel received our finalized home study at the end of March and made our profile public around the beginning of April! It was really exciting to see our family's story on their web page with all the other waiting families. Click here to see Our profile
They even made it facebook official! I'll also share the post on our facebook page (Funding Baby Fiore)
This journey has not been easy, but with each passing milestone, we are one step closer to achieving our dreams. Many have reached out to Jon or me to see how things are progressing with the adoption. A few have expressed concern that it would upset us or stress us out- that couldn't be further from the truth! You reaching out means you are thinking of us and our journey and that means the world to Jon and me. Your support and kind words have gotten us this far and we can truly feel every good thoughts and prayer coming our way.
We can't do an update without a picture of the progress on our fundraiser. We so thankful and couldn't be more appreciative of all the support. Bronson says he's very excited to be a big brother!
Lastly, I could not close out this update without mentioning something. Today marks the last day of National Infertility Awareness Week. Even though we are done with treatments, infertility will always be a part of us and we are forever changed by our experiences. This week of advocacy and hope will always hold a special place in our hearts. Any readers who continue to fight the battle against infertility- you have our support and prayers always.
With love,
Karen and Jon
