May Updates

We received our monthly "update" email from our social worker today.  Looks like they are currently working with two moms due in December and one mom due in January that are all planning on making an adoption plan but have not looked at profile books yet since it's still so early in the pregnancy.  I could handle a Christmas baby :)  It gives us some hope that there is some more activity at the agency though.

Our agency also is doing a large marketing campaign this summer.  They will be doing ads on KDWB, visiting high schools in the fall, and sending out marketing materials at the U of MN.  This has been a big push for them to get their name out and available to parents looking to make an adoption plan.  I'm excited to see the results they get from it!

That's really all the updates we have for now!  Summer is sure keeping us busy so don't expect too many updates from me unless we have a profile showing or something drastic happens. 

Happy Summer!

Not our time

We got a call Friday night from our social worker that our profile was shown,unfortunately a family was chosen and it wasn't us.  We didn't receive any other feedback other than the birth mom felt she had a connection with the family they choose.

We are feeling a few different things right now. First, being the obvious feeling of rejection and sadness and second the feeling of happiness as prayers were answered for a family that night. I can only imagine the joy the family who was chosen feels right now. I am truly excited for them and wish them the best as they move forward in the adoption process.

We are at complete peace knowing it wasn't our time and when the time is right...it will be perfect!
