Yesterday I received a call from a woman my sister grew up with. Last year she and I ran into each other at an adoption class (the kind you have to take to become eligible to adopt), and since then we’ve kept in touch. She has a SUPERCUTE little boy, and she and her husband are hoping to add to their family via adoption.
She called me because of something work related, but we ended up talking about our adoption efforts for quite a while. We’ve been able to celebrate the little triumphs (like getting our banners to post correctly on our agency’s old website) and commiserate in the frustrations (such as THE WAIT!) that come with adoption.
I hadn’t seen her info/profile on our agency’s new website, so I was hoping this meant good news for her family. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. Her house was burglarized and they got cleaned out. She’s bummed that their TV was stolen, and that most of her favorite clothes are now gone. But she’s most upset that her computer (a.k.a. photo album) is gone. How do you post an adoption profile without any photos?
BUMMER!
She has some ideas for scrounging up photos of hers living in cyber space. I hope she finds what she needs. And I hope her family gets a new member soon! So if you are looking for a family for your child and Sam and I don’t seem like a good fit, check out Steve, Suzanne and Wyatt. They have a blog you can check out, too. I highly recommend them!
