Been a very busy weekend between work and yard work, but some exciting developments have happened this weekend. We received word that our Home Study is complete and being sent for final approval. This is so exciting and crucial because this is required in all adoptions for an adoption to occur. Essentially it is an extensive study of us, our finances, home, health, literally nothing is not looked into. We have to submit financial records, FBI, state, and sex offender background checks, our home checked for safety, several references are checked, home visits, and health examinations.
The other exciting news is our adoption profile for birthmothers will go live this week. The timing of this is definitely God. I say this because the home study has to be complete so we can have an adoption legally, and with our profile live we can get paired with a birthmother. And that is the typical way a domestic adoption occurs. However, once our home study is final we could get a call the next day our attorney has a child for us. This is rare, but sometimes mothers have babies and decide adoption is the best option for their child. Once our home study is approved it is just a matter of time before we have a child. It could be days or months. Either way we are so excited. Thank you for joining our village and being a support for us while we start our family.
As always prayers, thoughts, sharing our posts, and if possible financial support is appreciated. If you are able to give financial support we have a fundraising page with Adopt Together.
