Adoption Preferences

It's been a couple of weeks since I've posted anything but I have lots to tell tonight.

First, our separate interview must have gone well because we were given the official outline of what to our Family Profile book should consist of.  Also, the guidelines to writing the "letter to the birthparents."  All I can say is "WOW!"  I've been working on the the profile book and waiting on pictures that we had taken on Tuesday, March 30th.  The letter to the birthparents is going to be a challenge.  There are so many things that I would love to say to the birthparents but how do you sum of your feelings in a page and a half.  I know that we will get it like it should be; it's just a little overwhelming.

Tonight when I can home Arthur told me we had a email from Bethany.  It was a "Adoption Preference" questionnaire.  The paragraph stated that we could take our time filling out the applicaton but we filled out and sent it back within a few minutes.  Questions were what age would you like your child to be; would you consider twins; would we condsider a child who has a medical condition that could be fixed with surgery (hernia, cleft pallette) and others of that nature.  Then there was a section on what about the birthparents.  The finaly section was on how would we feel about an open adoption and questions of that matter.

Now we are going thru the process of cleaning the house to make sure that when they call for the "house interview" we will be ready. Not saying our house is dirty but we could use some straighten up.  Just little things we need to work on. 

Here are some pictures that Michelle took at Lake Serene that we are putting in the album.

Here are some pictures that we had a photographer take.
