So many things to prepare!


Grant & I met with an adoption recruitment worker last week. She completed a home safety inspection and left us with a hefty package of documents to complete and a long checklist of things to compile together before she conducts our home-study. Grant & I are diligently working our way through the checklist - tonight we went to the police station to request crimal reference checks (I hope they didn't notice the sweet aroma from the Hawaiian-tini I had at dinner with the ladies from work). The "big" project we are working on a bit everyday is writing our "Dear Birthmother" letter and assembling our family profile album - How do we possibly convey who we are through pictures and words to a birth mother looking for the right couple to raise her baby?? If you're reading this blog, there is a strong possiblity we have shared some great moments that were captured on film and we may want to include a picture or two of you in our family profile album - please let us know if you do not feel comfortable with this.

Hope you have a great night's sleep
Love, Janet
