Well, we've been in Idaho for almost a week now and it is so beautiful! I can't believe how much snow there is and how cold I am. We've had a wonderful christmas with our families and are still trying to get everything settled for our move to Tooele, UT! As far as the adoption process, we'd be a lot further if we weren't such procrastinators! We still need to mail in our profile pictures and birthmother letter. Anyway, we hope everyone has a wonderful new year!
We had our 3rd adoption meeting/class last night and it was really good! They had a panel of 3 birth mothers come and share their experiences of placing children for adoption. It was interesting to see how different each of their experiences were and reminded me that there is someone out there who really will be looking for us. It helped us understand that we don't have to try and sound like we are the perfect couple, we just have to be us and everything will work out the way it is supposed to. We are going to re-write our birthmother letter now that we have a better understanding of what the purpose of it is and one of our forms came back incomplete so we have a few more things to do, but we're still waiting for the FBI check so it's not a setback or anything. We are a little crazy here right now still trying to get ready for christmas and moving. The moving part is the crazy, tense, hecktic part. We'll be rolling into Pocatello next Saturday though, and can't wait to see all of the family! xoxo~J & L
