A week ago we had our pre-adoption conference with our adoption agency. This was our time to hear about the process in depth, ask questions, and officially decide to work with one another. After this meeting we can both say we absolutely love the heart of the women who work with New Life! I'll sum up the next steps because the most often asked question is, "What's next?"
Right now we are on the list for a home study to be completed. They estimated this could take place in about three months. In the meantime, we need to write autobiographies, write letters to the birthmom, make a short video, read some books, take some pics for our profile, have physicals, take infant care and cpr classes, have a fire inspection, among some other things. If we have all this completed, they will be able to start showing our profile to birthmom's once the home study is finished. After that...we wait! We wait for the right birthmom at the right time. It could be quick, it could be long, but we know it will be right.
