Last Friday we went up to the O.C. for two appointments with adoption organizations. We first met with A is 4 Adoption. After sitting down and talking to them, we realized that this was exactly where God wanted us to be. We decided to go to lunch after to discuss it more and decided to go with them. We ended up canceling our appointment with the other organization we were going to meet with later that day. It sounds kind of crazy but we both looked at each other and said "This is it" After weeks of researching and contemplating different places we both felt at peace with our decision to go with A is 4 Adoption.
We are in the process of finishing our Dear Birth mom letter and our picture collage that we will send to A is 4 adoption on Monday morning. Then they can show our profile to potential birth moms and we wait. While we wait we will continue to fill out paperwork to finish our home study through Hope4kids. It has been so amazing how many supportive people we have encountered through this process. We have made new friends with an amazing couple who is also going through A is 4 Adoption and they have been helping us through the paperwork process and have also been great emotional support. We are also so thankful for our family and friends that have been so supportive through this process.
We are so excited and are hoping to get matched soon! Now we need to make sure to fund raise like crazy so we can afford to adopt a beautiful baby. Once we are matched we have to come up with an additional $7,500 plus birth mother expenses. We are certain that God will provide, He always does! Please pray for us through this process!
Yay!! Good update! Praying for you and the one God specially chose for you two!
