Party Time!

This past weekend was Mike's surprise graduation party! Everyone was all smiles and he was surprised! And our Grandmother and Uncle flew in from New York to join us!

No Early Christmas Present for Us

Brandon and I thought that we would be getting an early Christmas present- word that our profile is currently being shown to birthmothers, but there's been a minor delay. After having our Family Assessment state approved, we were informed that there is also a 1-day state required course we must take to enable our profile to be shown to birthmothers. However, the next course is not until mid-January. So we wait. We had hoped that they would make an exception for us because we have finished everything else and we are having to wait about an extra 45 days for just that 1 class which hasn't been offered since we began this process. But no early Christmas present for us...Our date to begin showing will be January 11th after 4pm...the course completion.

The Latest

We are currently still waiting for word that our profile is now "being shown". We got the Family Assessment approval last week...which means we are state approved! Now, we just wait for our profile to be shown to those looking for a couple just like us! Our profile has all the main points about us...who we are, what we do for a living, what are our hobbies, what is our family life like, where we live and go to church and it is put together with a book of pictures of us (our portfolio). It will be sent to the 3 area offices here in East Tennessee and there is another kept on file just in case someone would like to view us from another state.
