Before getting to the reason for this post, we should give an update on where we are with the adoption. We are still waiting for an expectant family to choose us. Look for another post in the near future explaining what more has been going on in our journey to expand our family.
We recently moved! This summer, we bought a single family home about 10 minutes from where we were living. It has an acre with a fenced backyard, a pool, and a pergola to entertain. We are blessed God has led us to this house and while it'll take some time, we are looking forward to making it our own. It might not seem like it, but our move affects the adoption. First, we needed to "update" our home study. There was a fee to have the social worker come out, ensure we are up to the safety codes (fire extinguisher, working fire alarms, carbon monoxide alarm, etc), and update our official paperwork. Second, our profile book needed updating. As previously explained in this post, it's a digital scrapbook that expecting families use to get introduced to waiting families and choose several to meet. Since our previous book described our townhouse, it needed updating. While I (Rachel) was updating the house page, I also updated Ben's page with more current pictures since he's now 2 and not closer to 1 as he was when we "unpaused" a year ago. Below is the new profile book if you're interested in seeing the new house or what the new pages look like. Blessings, J&R
