EXCITING NEWS!

As we posted before, it has now been just over a year since we filed for adoption. We are almost done with our updated paper work so we can keep our profile current. We couldn’t help but think about the last year and wonder if in a year we will be in the same position, filling out more paper work. However, the year 2011 is going to be different for us because…

Just over a month ago we were contacted by a wonderful birthmother in Topeka, Kansas. She is so wonderful and such an answer to our prayers. Our social worker has met with her and we just made a trip down to Topeka to meet her! She is pregnant with a boy and due at the end of July! That will create some interesting dynamics with the bar exam at the same time, but we will make it all work because it is such a blessing in our lives!

We are sure many of you have questions and we are happy to answer as many as we can right now. We just want to thank everyone for their prayers, support, and encouraging words through this past couple of years. True friendship has shined through. We love you all!

    Matt & Traci,

    Getting to know the two of you over the past few years has been a joy. I cannot think of two people who deserve the joy and happiness of a child in their home more than you. It takes very little time once meeting you, to realize that you will be an incredible mother and father to this very fortunate baby boy from Kansas. Congratulations!
