Latest update (Not much)

It has been a little over 3 months since out letter went into circulation and we have not had any real contacts. 2 email spams and 1 wrong number. (Some woman called our 800 number by mistake when she meant to call the agency. She actually knew a birthmother and was trying to make an adoption plan with her.) Our letter has gone out a few times. That means that a birthmother asked to see our letter along with others but never contacted us. It is hard right now. We have done all that we can do, really. Last week we mailed out 100 letters to organizations around the country. (Clinics, hospitals, etc.) So, at least we can keep looking for new contacts.We did go to a group meeting at the agency. We were the only couple there that had not adopted, yet. That was challenging but it was inspiring to hear all the different journeys to parenthood. And a reminder that it will happen it is just a matter of when. 

Other than that we are trying to take friends advice. Take advantage of the time that you have. Go out, stay out late, sleep in, travel because you will do less of all of those things as a parent. So we are trying to do that.
