We are happy to announce we are adopting and we have hired our adoption attorney. We researched several agencies and attorneys, and ultimately chose Gene Kelley with Kelley Law Firm in Rogers, Arkansas.
It was a chance encounter at Walmart during Mother's Day Weekend when I ran into a friend I had not seen in roughly 10 years. He and his wife were the first couple I knew that had adopted a child. When I shared with them we were going to adopt they ranted and raved that we had to look into Gene Kelley. Their adoption went wonderfully 17 years ago, and they had referred several other people to him that also had great experiences. I am so glad God had us cross paths and that we were able to learn about Kelley Law Firm. God has guided our path and direction as we start our adoption journey and I know he will continue to do so.
We have also started our home study. This has to be completed before we can truly get the process rolling. The home study process is comprised of 2 home visits, a ton of paperwork, interviews, and reference letters. It usually takes 30-60 days to complete. Once this is finished the only thing we will be waiting on is a birth mother picking us to parent their child. It is so exciting and nerve wracking.
Thank you for your support,
Greg and Rachel
