Now that you have the background story, let me tell you where we are today.
Today, Michael and I went to meet with an agency in Homewood. There were many pros to this agency:
1. The man who runs the agency is an adoption lawyer, so they will be able to handle all aspects of the adoption through their office.
2. They will do our home study and are willing to send it to any other agency if we choose not to go through theirs.
3. They do not call you with a child until the baby is born and the 5 day period the birth family has to change their mind has passed, meaning you do not have to deal with the heartbreak of being matched with a birth mother who later changes her mind and chooses to keep the baby.
4. They will send a social worker to us in Montgomery to do our home study.
Right now we know for sure that we are going to use them to do our home study. We will see how things turn out after that because adoption is extremely expensive.
I am already looking into fundraising ideas. If you have one, feel free to share it.
I look forward to blogging about our journey!
