Well, this homestudy process lasted much longer than we thought, but as of yesterday, we are OFFICIALLY approved. Technically, according to our agency's policy, we have been waiting 7 months and 3 weeks; But now, if a girl comes to the agency and asks to see all the profiles, we could be in the running.
There is no word on how long (before we receive a placement) it just depends on girls coming forward. Please pray for women that may be struggling with the decision to place their babies for adoption. Please keep in mind that though we have an agency, an independent adoption can still be facilitated. We hope to send out our "Dear Birthmother" letters to friends and family before the end of the year. The purpose is that if you come across someone hoping to adopt, you can share our profile with them. We will keep you posted. Thank you again for all your prayers and support.

Purpose of Birthmother letter: to give to someone hopes to adoped or looking to put baby up for adoption???
We are so excited for you guys! You will continue to be in our prayers, as well as all mothers thinking about putting their babies up for adoption. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!
Love,
Becky and Steve
A "Dear Birthmother" letter is just a letter from the couple hoping to adopt (us) to a pregnant woman considering adoption. It tells her a little more about us and what we hope to provide for a child. Our agency has such a letter that they give to a girl that would look at our profile. The purpose of sending it to family and friends would be to get that letter in the hands of girls that would consider us. If someone found us that way, then the adoption would be considered an independent (outside of the agency) adoption.
