Or, we're pretty sure we will be when it actually happens.
Our paperwork is all in place now for a second adoption. We had to renew our homestudy (a much less tedious and less expensive process than starting a homestudy from scratch), and make a new photo profile to show what life is like now that we have Isaac. So, technically, we could get a call any day saying a birthmother has seen our profile and wants to meet us.
I still have to write a little blurb to go on our agency's website about us, so we aren't yet visible to birthparents that are just browsing the site, but I will get that done soon, I hope. We're not really in a hurry--for one thing it would be nice to have Isaac walking before we bring home a newborn.
But, we felt it was time to get started again. We really want Isaac to have a sibling, and figured the sooner the better, in some ways. I'm not sure if having a child already will make us more or less attractive to birthmothers. We'll see.
We're raising money to help pay for this adoption through a company called Just Love Coffee. It's a great ministry, so if you haven't already checked it out, click on the link to see our store page. A percentage of any purchase through our Just Love webpage will come to us to help with adoption expenses. We've already received our first check!
