Good grief! Technology hates me. I have tried multiple different ways to get this picture to rotate correctly, but to no avail. Ugh!
Anyway, this is the letter/pictures to our future birth mother. We sent copies to the agency today to be shared with birth moms looking for a family to place their child with for adoption.  Thanks to my dear friend, Heather, for helping me get the picture collage completed without pulling all of my hair out (remember, technology hates me)!

We are still waiting to her from our agency on whether or not we had all of our paperwork completed. From there, we will schedule our home study so we are amxiously waiting!

Here's how our day ended......
(If the truth be told, our day has still not ended. It is 10 pm and we put her down 1 hour ago. She is still crying! Seriously?! Dear Teeth- Please come in so I will get my Natalie back.And my sanity)

On Friday, June 1st Brian and I finally mailed off our formal application and paper work for adoption number 2!  And this time around I already have our scrapbook ready to go. No last minute, throw together book like last time. I am so pleased with our book this time.

Many people have been asking how long our wait will be this time or if it will be any shorter. There is absolutely no way of knowing the answer to this question. First of all, we have to complete our home study. This will be the next step that our agency will contact us on after reviewing all paperwork.  We are so excited about our case worker this time around. Her name is Meghan and she is in the DFW area. This means cheaper cost on our part because she isn't driving from Waco.  We are also excited because we LOVE her. She is so easy to talk to, and has the best personality (unlike our last one who was very difficult to figure out).  Once our home study is complete, then we will be placed on the waiting list and website. From here, it is all in the Lord's hands on timing. We simply wait on a birthmother to choose us. This could be 2 months or 1-2 years. We just have no way of knowing.

And just to clear up the second most frequently asked question........we are open to a boy or girl, any race.  Let the wait begin...........
