Officially Paper Pregnant!!!

A couple weeks ago we mailed our adoption profile book to the agency. She said she thought it was a really good book and that it shows a lot about us and our families. It took a lot of work so I'm thankful she thought it was good!
Our Profile Book


This past Wednesday we mailed our background checks to the agency and today we received our official letter of approval!! We are now what the adoption community calls "Paper Pregnant"!! This means that all the paper work has been completed and we are just waiting for a match! The agency will show our profile book to birth parents and it is up to the birth parents to choose us. Our home study will be valid for one year. If we are not matched within that year we will have to pay a fee for the home study to be updated.  So our prayer is that we get matched within that year! We ask that you continue to pray with us, for our future child and their birth mother.
We are so excited to be this far in the adoption. We could not have made it this far without the help of family and friends and the lord! We continue to be blessed each day with this opportunity the lord has given us and cannot wait to share our lives with a child in the future.
