When you apply for adoption, you are at the mercy of others. You have to jump through hoops, and supply whatever is asked of you. You also have to market yourselves as the best family there is, so that a birthmother will want to choose you. It sounds kind of cold, but it isn't, really. It is, however, a lot of work! Of course, once you have that beautiful little baby in your arms..., well nothing else really matters! I thought these pictures from our last adoption plee would be kind of fun to share. Some of the pics are kind of small. These are 8 X 10 sheets that we scanned in after I slaved over these to send off. Of course, if you click on the pic, it'll enlarge, and you can see better. Again, I have to say....I have some pretty cute kiddos!! Check out Hal, too!
