Where have I been?!

Seriously! Where have I been?? LOL, first lets start off with, WE HAVE AN APPROVED HOMESTUDY!!! Thank you to everyone who helped make it possible. It couldn't have been done without you! So we were actually matched with an expectant mother and we were ready to head on down the adoption road a little ways but we ended up having to pass. We were not expecting to get matched as soon as we did. So while it was wonderful, it was also awful because we thought we were going to be able to come up with the money but it just didn't happen. We had to pass. The baby was due on Monday. We hope that he or she has a wonderful new home with parents who will love him or her as much as we would have. Today, my sister set up a little Facebook Event asking for everyone to donate $1 and share. I think its awesome. I'd love to see it take over Facebook! If it does happen to go huge, we plan on giving any extra proceeds to helpusadopt.org. I truly admire what they do. Here's the link to the event! Even if you can't help, share it! You never know who might be able to help! http://www.facebook.com/events/262298587221298/ Talk to you all soon!!! Nikki

Home Study Paperwork

Well, we got our paperwork! Its a huge thick stack of paper but I was happy to see it! My hand was cramping so bad last night I had to stop and finish up today. I got the copies of everything we need and now I'm just waiting on Matt to finish up his portion. I've made our appointments for our physicals and we'll go get our local law background checks tomorrow morning. As soon as the finger printing packet gets here, we'll get finger printed and be on our way!!

New news! lol

Well, today we met with Angela and Edna of Adoption & Family Support Center, LLC. First off...they rock! We had such a good time hanging out and getting to know them. We gave them our application and application fee and hope to start our home study very soon! Like within the next few days. So thats pretty exciting. They also have a possible birth mother who we may or may not be a match with. So now we scramble to try to come up with the money we will need to adopt because there is a very real possibility that we could have a baby by mid-July. So...fingers crossed for us that we can make this happen!!

Its Been a While

Hi everyone. Nothing new to add here at all. Just popping in and saying hello. Money is tight so things are kind of on hold for a while. I'll try to remember to update this more often.
