10/27/2009 - FINAL MEETING WITH THE AGENCY

Joni & I are very excited to report that we just completed our final pre-approval meeting with our adoption agency this evening!

After months of preparations, classes, meetings, etc, we met with our adoption worker tonight to review our service plan, which is the final piece of this amazing puzzle. From here, the social worker completes the writing of the report and then submits it to the agency director for a thorough review and approval. We expect to be approved by December 2009!

Once approved, the agency will be able to start showing our profile to interested birthmothers, who will review and make the adoption plan by choosing the adoptive parents. This process has been an amazing journey for both Joni and me.

Understanding we could have months of "waiting" ahead of us, we are still so excited to know we are so close to finally being approved. Very exciting times!

Thank you all for your continued prayer support!

More details to come....once we have them.

10/20/09, the adoption social worker is scheduled to inspect our home. This is one of the final steps in the process before the agency writes our home study report. Right now, we are on track to be approved by December 2009.

Thank you all so much for your continued prayers!

10/19/09: We complete the adoption profile packet!

Tonight, Joni and I completed the adoption profile packet that birthmothers will review when they select their children's adoptive parents.

Social Worker Interviews COMPLETED.

This week, Joni and I completed the necessary interviews in the adoption process. The past few weeks have include a couple interview followed by each of us having solo interviews with the social worker. Now, we work on our adoption profile that the birth mothers/parents will review in their selecting potential adoptive parents.

We will deliver this profile (4 copies) to our social worker when she comes to our home on 10/20/09 for the "home inspection".

Thanks so much for your continued prayers!

Joni really enjoys this song!
