Last Wednesday, we had our all-day meeting at the agency. It was a recap of a lot of the info that we had received previously, but it's always good to hear the details again! We talked about the details of how the process works as far as getting chosen and meeting the birthmother. Then they took us through the steps of what happens after the baby is born and had us read the legal documents that she signs to relinquish custody as well as the ones that we sign to start the process of the legal adoption.
We also got to meet a couple that had recently adopted through the agency. It was a wonderful story, and their new son was so cute!
So, where are we headed from here? The next step is to get the scrapbook done (I have really got to STOP PROCRASTINATING!) and get our home study scheduled. We are hoping to have our home study completed by the end of August.
Oh, I'll throw this out there - if any of you have recent (last few years) pictures of David or me, can you e-mail them to me? We need lots of pictures of us and I don't have very many! Also, I'm looking for a few pictures of David & I at college and at our wedding - any & all help is greatly appreciated here! If you could get these to me by August 9th that would be super!!!

Yikes!
How has it been over a month since we updated???
We've apparently been busier than we thought!
We've got a full day meeting at our agency on July 22nd, and we are working furiously to get things done before then. My mom is helping us repaint the nursery and a dresser & chest for the room also. We installed smoke alarms & Fire extinguishers with my dad's help. I've cleaned all the carpets in the house except for the nursery, and I'll do that after we paint.
Still to do - gosh it's quite a list! We've got to put the room together, reassemble the living room, create the scrapbook, write autobiographies, take pictures for the scrapbook, and on top of that, some friends of ours just had a baby & I've got to go meet the new addition - soon!!!
We'll be sure to post about the meeting on the 22nd! Until then, thanks to everyone for all of your help & prayers!
