First meeting with the attorney.

As you can tell by the title, we met with our attorney for the first time today. It was just a consultation to learn about the process of private adoption. We got a lot of great info and are so excited to start this process. I've already completed and faxed back the background info packet they have and so now they will start a file for us. 

The next step is to work on a brochure to send out. He suggest a smaller trifold brochure over a scrapbook or preprinted book. These are easier to mail out to people. Since we are doing a private adoption we need to find our own birthmom so we will be mailing these out to family and friends. 

Our attorney also suggested waiting until you get matched with a birthmom to get your homestudy done, but we may go ahead and start that process after we get the brochures mailed out. That way it's something to keep us busy, not only that but we can go ahead and have that part paid for and we'll know we are ready as soon as God puts a birthmom in our lives!

Until next time...
