It's official! We're on our way toward becoming parents! We have completed one visit so far, and the next is scheduled for 10/28!! Here's what we have to accomplish before being certified:
1. Visit in nearby small town (2 appointments - each individual interview) - DONE
2. Visit in nearby small town (1 appointment - genogram) - 10/28
3. Visit in our small town (2 appointments - home visit & results of our personality tests) - TBD
4. Visit in nearby big city (2 appointments - infertility counseling & new personality test results) - TBD
In the meantime, we're still creating our match letter and are SO excited to be on this journey! We're trying very hard not to create expectations about timelines...we figure, if we don't create expectations, we can't be disappointed. :) Plus, this line of thinking helps us all the more to remember it's God's timing and not our own that will guide this process.
If you would like, we'd like to invite each of you to be praying for our birthparents and child. It's amazing, as I've begun praying this way, the things that God is choosing to reveal... For example, earlier on in the infertility journey, I have a very dear friend that would remind me, often when a new cycle would start - "God knows the EXACT sperm and egg that will meet to create your child." And she's right - just because it's not my egg and Ben's sperm - this is still our child!!!! And we are praying for him or her, and for the parents that will courageously choose to place them into our arms.
Much love,
Jenny
