Favorites from our Adoption Photo Shoot

Here are a couple of our favorite shots from our pictures done at Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens! We had to get some recent pictures done to include in our applications & dossier! Enjoy :)

We have chosen our agency!

After going over TONS of information and going back and forth, we finally made a decision to go with America World Adoption (www.awaa.org) and are so excited! We had a great talk with the intake coordinator yesterday!

The joys of preparing for a yard sale!

John & I hope to have a yard sale at the beginning of July to help raise funds for the adoption so while we've got a lot of free time on our hands (ha!) we've been going through our apartment looking for things for either the yardsale or to sell directly on Craigslist.com. Ok...John is going through them and I am watching :) Who knew we accomulate so much stuff in so little time? Anyways, if anyone would like to donate items to our yardsale we would greatly appreciate it!

Other than that, it is pretty quite on the adoption front. We are trying to be sure that we've got the funds to cover short term costs (application fee, I-600 fee, and homestudy fee) before submitting our application since all of the above have expiration dates and of course none of them at the same time. So we are eagerly waiting and praying to get the party officially started! We hope to call the agency tomorrow to talk about the early stages of the process and different programs so I hope we get some good news!
