OK............So I'm actually going to disappear from this blog for a short time. It shouldn't be for very long, but bear with me while I do so. When I come back, I'll have more pictures and updates (i.e. Easter, etc) to post.......so keep checking back!
I'm really working hard at trying to be proactive in this adoption pursuit, now that we're finally approved. In doing so, I am currently working on creating a new blog specifically for the adoption only. When I get it done, I will link it to this one so that you will all be able to see it. However, for security purposes, I'm not going to put anything about this blog on the new one at all.
After suggestions from my caseworker and thinking about it for awhile, I've decided that it would probably be a good idea not to include any personal information in my blog in connection with the adoption. For example...........our last name (which is in this blog address), our family's last names, where we live, etc. I could go through and change all of that info in this blog, but I don't want to risk losing anthing I've already done here and it would take some work. I've decided that I like the idea of creating a separate blog strictly for adoption instead, which we will use now and for any future adoptions to come.
Matt and I are also currently in the process of designing and creating some 'pass along cards' as well.............which will include a picture of us, a few words about us, and our email address, etc. I've created a new email address that doesn't include our last name (since all of our other ones did!), and I was originally going to leave the blog address off the card..........but as I keep thinking about it, I feel pretty strongly that it's important for us to include it so that prospective birthparents can learn more about us on a more personal level. This is why I'm creating the new blog........so that I can include it on the cards as well without giving too much personal information away as a safety precaution to us.
If anyone is interested in having us send/give you (depending on where you live and how often we see you! ) some cards to pass along for us, please let us know! I'll then get in touch with you in a more private setting (email, etc.) to get your information to send them to if you don't live close by.
Anyway, we've got some things in the 'works' right now to help us in our pursuit and I'm pretty excited about it! I feel that I really need to focus on doing all that I can right now to help us in this journey, so that's why I'm taking a break from this blog for a bit to focus on these other things. Once I get them done.............I'll be back!!
We sure love all of you guys and are thankful for each of your support and encouragement!

Smart idea! I'll work on my friend you has an 18 year old son who's GF is PG. I really think they are WAY too young to raise a child, and they certainly aren't prepared for it.
Good luck with everything!
Good luck with everything!!! We sure think you guys are great!
Darla, just becareful with the e-mail address you use to start your blog. When you click on view profile, you can see all blogs that blog owner has. I am sure you thought about it, but just FYI,
Thanks for the advice, Sassy! I actually created a whole new email specifically for the adoption as well.......which isn't linked to this blog at all. Hopefully, that should keep them separate. :)
Good luck with all of it! We'll keep you guys in our prayers!
Being an older birth mother, I looked for all I could remember that we are placing a BIG part of US with YOU!! so don't be to privet we want to know all we can about you. YOUR likes and dislikes everything possible because it helps us feel reassure about our choose and knowing that it will happen by the LORDS HAND!!
