Meeting Update

Our meeting went great!

Our adoption counselor is super nice. She moved here from Colorado Springs and her husband works for Apple.  She is perfect match for us! =)

We received about a textbook thick of paperwork to fill out.

Good news: Sully and I will have an opportunity to learn even more about each other
Bad news: We have to get a TB test...which is done by a shot.  yuck. 

While nothing is for sure, the counselor said she does not think our wait will be long due to the kind of children we are open to parenting.

Good news: Our wait could be between 3-10 months upon completing our home study. 
Bad news: We need to come up with $13,000 more dollars.  She said that we should go ahead and get that in order because you have to pay that fee upon placement.  If you have an extra $5 or $13,000 laying around, we would gladly receive it. 

I know that generally finances are tight around the holidays for people so if you can't give right now but have a good idea for a fundraiser after the new year, I would love to hear it. Drop us a line!

I have overwhelmed at the social media support we are getting. Thank you so much for walking this with us.

Who knows, maybe by this time next year we will be putting a, "Baby's 1st Christmas" ornament on the tree!

One other thing... the counselor asked us if we knew anyone who has adopted and if we have anyone we can talk to during the process. We actually laughed out loud and replied with a resounding, "yes".
We are so thankful for all of our  friends who have paved the way for this. Thank you for responding to God's call so we can have footsteps to follow!
