We're Approved!!!

Finally, after seven long months Tyler and I have been approved for adoption. I don't think it normally takes people that long, but with Tyler's schedule it took us a while to get everything done. We are so excited, and a little nervous. I guess the next step is that our case worker will be contacting the Salt Lake City office to have our profile added. Once this is done I will let you all know so you can check it out.

This whole process has been a bit overwhelming. We had multiple interviews, home visits, Foster Care classes, a lot of paperwork including a collage and letter to the birth parents. It was a great experience though and we're really looking forward to the next step, hopefully we'll get matched up with cute baby soon!

I don't know whether you'd be interested, but my cousin just went through that process in SLC. She has the most adorable baby boy. I can get you her email address if you want. She's also working on a blog about adoption. I'll send it to you once she gets it up and working. Good luck!
