Adoption Process Update


Matt and I are in the final stages of getting approved to adopt again. We are waiting on fingerprint results and then the final "OK" from LDS Services. We submitted the fingerprints end of May so anyday we should hear something. After that we begin waiting for a birth mother/father to chose us as their adoptive family. For those of you who don't know exactly how the process works from here I will tell you. Once we are "approved", we will pop up on the website: Itsaboutlove.com and birth mothers and fathers can view our profile and read about us and decide if they want to get to know us better and if we may be a good fit for their child. Adoption is all about WAITING! Waiting for the appts, referral letters, home study, classes, paperwork, fingerprints, background check, etc....and then finally...a MIRACLE and it is all worth it!! Eli was worth every minute of waiting! I know the next little kiddo(s) will be too!! Please keep us in your prayers and if you know anyone who would like to contact us pls. give them my email address: chicadell@hotmail.com or my phone number if you know it. Thanks!!! xoxo
