Home study is all done and now our books are out to the social workers. This is the waiting part. We have turned in enough documents to build a forest and I crafted a personal profile about our family on Shutterfly (highly recommend). So now we wait for a birth mother to choose us. We are working with an agency that we used before, which will show our books to birth mothers who match our comfort profile. I do not care if its a boy or a girl! (Although my child keeps praying for a baby sister). Adoptive parents are usually chosen when the birth mother is 6 months prego or more. There’s also drop in mothers-those are the in the minority..but was the case for us the first time around. Once we are matched and the baby is born, the birth mother then has a time period in which she could change her mind. Its different in every state. Then if all goes well, within a few months the adoption gets finalized in court and we become the legal parents. Thats like the super brief summary of how it works. Its actually a pretty tedious process, but I wouldn't change it for the world. It is all worth it.
Anyway, thats kinda where we are and where we are headed. Just praying.
