Adoption Profile

Our Adoption Profile cover page.

I have recently redone our Adoption Profile. I hope that is helps any woman out there that concidering adoption for her child understands and really gets a feel for our family.

Your profile is the most important thing you do during your wait to adopt. This is how a woman concidering adoption will choose the family for her child. We are to put together a little book that shows her our family and what we are like and how her child would live. That is a tall order to put into 1500 words. We were in the middle of making our first profile when we lost Macie. I was so hard to find pictures that she was not in. I wanted to have her in the profile but our agency told us not to because we didn't need to make the woman concidering adoption feel sorry for us or guilt her or make her feel like we were trying to replace Macie. It was just too complicated to try and explain in 1500 word profile. But now that it has been over a year since we lost Macie we have lots of pictures that we can use and our profile truly represents our family! I hope our wait will soon come to an end....

When you are waiting to adopt it is pretty much like being pregnant except you don't have that magical "Due date". So far I have been "paper" prego for 13months. You have no idea when you could have your new baby in your arms. It could be another year or it could be tonight. Another thought that has really got to me is the fact that for us to gain a daughter to love and to give us joy someone else has to go through pain and loss.
