Adoption Update

Things are moving quite rapidly in the adoption process. Erin had her individual interview this week and I am scheduled for Monday. Jennifer, the social worker, called today to confirm my appointment. She also asked us to work on our "Dear Birthparent" letter and portfolio because they have a meeting with an expanding mother of a bi-racial baby on Monday night who may decide to place through Agape. Right now, Jennifer only has one portfolio of adoptive parents who are willing to take a bi-racial baby. Since Erin and I do not believe that there are different "races" of humans, we have opted to accept any child no matter what his "ethic" heritage is. We don't have any more details other than what I just mentioned and we can not get our hopes up...so many circumstances could occur. For instance, the mother may choose another adoption agency, may choose another family, may choose to keep her child, or may choose a less favorable route. We do not know how far along the mother is or if the father is in the picture. All that said, we still worked with fervor on our portfolio tonight. We still have a lot of work to do on it and just a short time to do in, so we will be busy Saturday and Sunday scrambling to get something done. We will post it here when it is finished for review. Keep us in your prayers.
