With some encouragement of our adoption agencie(s), - more on the plural later! We are going to start blogging again. I am a pretty private person and I think Jim would agree with this, so blogging about our adoption experience has been very hard for me, Jim on the other hand wants to tell the whole world everything. Forrest Gump always said “Me and Jenny’s like peas and carrots!” and we are! Completely different but we go great together. So we are going to give it our best try with this blog again!

We thought we would give an update of sorts as to what has been going in our adoption journey. We have now been waiting 2 years to adopt. We just recently completed our third hom estudy, so we are approved for another year. To say the past 2 years have had its ups and downs would be a little understated. First we waited to be matched, but finally we got the big news that we were matched, then we got the horrible news that the match failed, and now we are back to waiting again. We know the end result will be more than worth all of the ups and downs we have experienced!


With the recommendation of several friends and our adoption agency in Kentucky, we decided to branch out and we are now licensed with an adoption agency in Ohio! We are very excited to now be licensed in both states as hopefully it will speed up the process.

Please keep us in mind if you know anyone that wants to make an adoption plan. Both of our agencies and their contact information are listed on this blog.

Thanks!
Jen and Jim

P.S. We are still collecting aluminum cans to recycle for money. Please let us know if you have any cans, we can come pick them up! In the past year, we have raised almost $1,000, just by all of our friends, family and coworkers saving cans for us!
