Well we finished out last visit...and here is what we found out.

She is going to try to have our homestudy written up and ready to go out THIS WEEK. She went to her monthly meeting and was told about a baby boy that was born in February that is available for adoption. It has a sorta sad story behind it. He was adopted at birth through a private agency or attorney and the amom has been having a lot of mental issues. Well to make a long story short, the mom lost custody of the child to the state. For us it is a good thing, he is very low medical need and needs a home. He is young which is what we were hoping for.

It is amazing to me the way things work, I had been very discouraged all last week and then for her to show up with news like this only made me feel better. Even if he is not meant for us, it gave me a glimmer of hope that we would be able to adopt a young child like we were hoping for.

Now I have to get the pictures put together for her so that dh can drop them off. Problem is...we dont' have any of the 2 of us. Both of our parents are mailing us photos today so they should be here by Thursday so we can get them ready to drop off Friday. Then we get to sit and wait.

I am going to start working on a life book. I have been keeping a journal of my feelings the last few weeks with the ups and downs. Once I get pictures to use of us I will do some pages of that. If anyone has any ideas, should we use pics from our wedding? What all should we try to include in the lifebooks?

We are hoping to be able to get pictures and lots of info on the childs past so we have that as well to go on.

so that is my news for right now, I just HAD to share!!!
