9/19/2020 – The nursery is coming along nicely!

We cannot thank Erin and family enough for the wonderful gifts sent our way for baby. Just look at how adorable these animal prints are – already hung with care in the nursery!

9/2/2020 – Playtime!

Thank you Danny R. And family for the amazing gifts – such as the sassy tummy time play and the graco soothing chair. We have heard both will be essential. We also love the adorable sheet sets we received – you are so kind and we are so grateful for your generosity!

9/1/2020 – Something new, something old…

A big thank you to the Jensen Family for all of these wonderful gifts. Both the bassinet and rocking chair have been in the “family” for some time, and will make great additions to the nursery. Thank you so much Shelly and Bob! The high-chair is brand new- with all the bells and whistles! We also adore these super cute books for baby – what great selections Andy and Sarah! We are so grateful!

(PS) – The green and yellow blanket was made for me by Shelly and Nana when I was a newborn. The colors could not match the walls any better than if we tried 😎😜😙

8/31/2020 – Foxes, sloths, and elephants, oh my…

We received so many lovely items from Katie, Lynn, and my nieces and nephews yesterday while visiting. What a pleasant surprise! The sloth blanket is as soft as it is adorable – and the onesies are through the roof! Thank you Finley Family – we love you guys!

Received our first official screen! Obviously, this one did not work out, but learned some valuable lessons in the stage.

6/24/2020 – Home Study Completed!

This was the final milestone of our home study and documentation process – we are now in the final matching stage. During this stage we will review many “referrals” from soon-to-be-mothers who are looking for adoptive parents for their upcoming newborns. So glad this major milestone is finally completed.

4/10/2019 – First Adoption Orientation

Attended our first orientation with our adoption agency – Full Circle Adoptions. Met with fellow parents to be along with one of the agency social workers who outlined the upcoming multi-stage process.
