This past Friday, we turned in 5 copies of our completed profile. We looked over it, proofed it and tweaked it until we ended up with something we are really proud of and really reflects who we are.
The whole profile process has gone so smoothly. Even though the questions were very difficult to answer, or at least to put the answers into words, the layout and the aesthetics were pretty fun. And I knew how to get it to look how I wanted it, because of my work with text layout at my job. So I had my document all ready to go. But how to get it to the Kinko's so they could print it up all fancy? I was talking with a friend at work, and she causally mentioned how her dad uploads stuff to the Kinko's website and then just picks it up. When I got home that evening, it really was that easy. I got to pick the paper, the cover, the binding and the quantity. Even paid for it online.
So Friday morning, when we went to pick it up, it was ready in a neat little box. It was so fast and easy. Even more so than I could have ever imagined. Then we just stopped by the agency and dropped off our box!
Now we wait. Something we are getting pretty good at. Our profile will be shown to birth mothers that we are compatible with - and we just wait to be chosen. Our social worker is going to give us updates as needed. But she isn't going to tell us when or if we are being shown to a birth mother, if she can help it. This is to aid us in not getting our hopes up too soon. So the call that we are waiting for is: Your baby is HERE! It could be several months; it could be a year. But it will be the perfect time.
