Post-Orientation Post

Last week we had our first meeting/orientation with our agency.  We learned a lot about the agency, how they run, what services they provide, and their process in general.  It was very informative and nice to meet the people we will be working with (and getting to know REALLY well) throughout this process. 

We really feel we picked the best agency for us after going to orientation.  Just learning about what all they provide to the birthmothers before, during and after is very comforting.  They also do not match adoptive parents with the baby until they are very confident the birthmother is committed to adoption.  That will hopefully prevent more heartache down the road.

We ask that you continue to keep us in your prayers.  We came home with a lot of paperwork to fill out and a long to-do list that is due fairly soon.  We have been setting aside time to get started on it and I am confident we will get it done.  There are a lot of deep, personal questions, so please pray for us not to overthink these and answer them as honestly as we can; that will be best for all parties in the end.

So far this week, we have filled out all of our background check forms, got some notarized and sent off!  Hopefully, once that gets cleared, we can do the fingerprinting and other forms to start this process!
