Adoption update:
We are officially WAITING!!!
What exactly does this mean? It means that we are all approved by our agency to have a baby placed in our care. It means that the agency will start showing our profile to potential birth mothers. It means that our family is one step closer to being complete!
A few questions you may have:
How long until we match? Could be anywhere from a day to a year to never. We anticipate matching fairly quickly in the next few months because our agency has quite a few situations that they need families for.
What is a match? A match is when a birth mother (or birthparents) have selected us to parent the baby they are making an adoption plan for. A match does not guarentee that the baby will be ours. The birth parents could still decide to parent after the match is made or after the baby is born. The birth parents do get a lot of counseling through our agency so when they match they are sure of their decision but anything can change and this is a very emotional process for everyone involved. We could match with a birth mom who already has a baby born (as in Addy's situation) or one is pregnant and could have a few months left before delivery.
We will keep you updated on our process! Thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and support as we start our wait and as we move forward with our adoption process!
