Our Adoption Profile

Our profile has been approved and published! Wooooohoooo!! Check it out.. I can't even think of what else to say. It's such a relief to have it done and out there for birth parents to see. Now all that's left is for us to wait for someone to contact us. If you know of anyone who might want to place their baby for adoption, we would very much appreciate your recommendation. Contact us at robertandaliciaadopt@gmail.com.

Winter

I'm back! Here's a summary of the last two months:

We had a great Christmas visiting family in Oklahoma. I can't even remember what we did for New Year's, so it must have been mediocre. I spent most of January helping a friend sell some of her things on eBay. Honestly, it's been a lot more work than I anticipated, but I'm glad I can help her out. We've also been completing adoption training and finalizing our profile. And we finally finished! All that is left is for the case worker to approve it and publish it to the website. When I called the LDS Family Services office to make sure all of our paperwork was in order, I told the secretary that I felt like there should be some sort of fanfare or applause soundtrack when you get everything done. We've been working on our application for TWO years. I'm confident that the timing is right though. Somewhere out there, there is a woman who doesn't know what to do. She's pregnant, but for one reason or another, she knows she can't give her child the life he/she deserves. She's looking at the adoption profiles, hoping that she'll find the right couple, that she'll know she's making the right choice. And she'll find Robert and Alicia, and she'll know that this is the family that her child belongs to. And it will be the beginning of a great family relationship for everyone.

As soon as our profile is published, I'll post the link here and y'all can start sharing!
