Web Profile . . .

Our adoption web profile is up on the Bethany website! I sent it in last week and have been checking the site every day to see when it would be up. Our profile books are also AT the agency, which means we could be shown to a birthmother any day now. Woohoo!

Here's the link: (feel free to share)

In related news, I'm mobile blogging today, which is weird because I can't seem to change that link above into just words! It's also fun, cause I'm learning how to do more stuff on my Christmas gift, an iPad. :)

Speaking of Christmas, I know I haven't really said...errr, written much about the holidays. I'm not purposefully avoiding the topic, but I really just didn't have time to write about it and now it seems too late. Suffice to say that we had a great Christmas, was able to see almost all of both of our families, and rung in the new year quietly, just the hubby and me.

So, while blogging mobile-ly is convenient, I really miss all of my formatting buttons, so this probably won't happen much. Anyone else blog via tablet or phone? Suggestions are welcome!

I CAN add a picture, though. So, here ya go! You know I love flashbacks! This is Hampton and his brothers when they were obviously much younger!

Approved!!!

Adoption Update:

WE ARE APPROVED!!!

We got our official approval letter from the agency . . .




AND . . . we've finished our profile book. It is being processed right now and should be at our agency by Wednesday, the 9th.

So, what does all this mean?

We are officially a waiting family. At this point, our profile will be available for viewing by birthparents and we will be eligible to be matched with a baby (or at least their birthmom). As you can read in the letter, there isn't a specific time frame given, but we are trusting God with that as with everything else!

We are so excited to be at this point finally! We are eager to grow our family and are super-excited about God's plan for the future. We are asking for your prayers of course, but specifically that we will stay focused on what we are called to RIGHT NOW. We know that God has each of us exactly where He wants us and we want to be faithful to that calling.

In conclusion, we want to share our profile book here, which we feel is part of our testimony and part of God's story in our lives. We are excited to share our story with as many people as possible, so feel free to share with others, as well.

(It uses Flash player, so if you're viewing on your phone, it probably won't work.)

Hope everyone is having a great 2013 so far! I know I'm late in posting about resolutions and such, but that is coming. I'm taking a different approach this year. :)
