Hey y'all!
First off, we want to thank everyone who has been praying for us, helping us fundraise, and sending encouraging words and thoughts are way! It has been such a blessing and we are so grateful to everyone of you. We know the Lord will provide for all that we need, and you all have shown us so much grace and generosity already! It is truly overwhelming in the best way. Although this process comes with its fair share of frustration and tough days, it has been so powerful. That being said, we do have an exciting update!
We've been spending the last few months building our profile book (what birth moms will look at to make their decision) and completing our home study which included tasks like background checks, fingerprints, medical checks, personal and couple interviews, safety checks, infant CPR training and classes, and more with a social worker in the state of Alabama. We are very excited to announce that we are officially home study approved! What this means is that we are legally approved to adopt and can officially apply to the agencies we have picked out.
The agencies we are applying to are all in the state of Florida at this time. These were suggested to us by our consultant that we have been working with since February. We planned to apply to three agencies, but one of the ones we planned to apply to is not taking new families until the fall. We are on the waiting list and going to continue with the other two and possibly add another in the future.
Please keep us, our future birth parents, and our future baby in your prayers as we move forward in this process! We are so excited to continue and send our completed book for potential birth moms to see. We have faith that this process works and will match with a mom who will be an incredible addition to our lives and our family. We hope to always bring grace, light, and hope to everyone we meet through this experience and use it towards God's glory.
Thank you!
