Cautiously wishing you a happy healthy matching party! Do you get to know anything about the emoms? I mean, prior to being matched?

Sorry I don't get here as often as I should...but I'm rooting for you all the way!

Sarah: I know we've bumped into each other at the forums at adoption.com. If you see me there, feel free to nudge me and let me know how things are.

Blessings, Michelle

Good luck Sarah! I can't wait to hear when you've been matched.

As for us, we're about done with our required classes for our state, we've finished all the paperwork and are trying to get the portfolio done while waiting for the homestudy to start. Sigh - hurry up and wait always seems to be the name of the game.

Thanks ladies. Our social worker hasn't contacted us in the last couple of weeks, which is not like her. I'm trying to get a hold of her about DH fingerprints, which still have not come back.

my fingers that you hear from the social worker soon about hubby's finger prints.

As for your portfolio going out at the end of July, how exciting!! One less step to complete before you become a mommy! Maybe in September too with 2 bmoms out there.

I will be thinking of you and praying that one of the two will be your perfect match.

Take care

Well I have lots of updates. My DH got his fingerprints approved finally. We are going to Mexico tomorrow morning and I am puking my guts out and the two potential birthmoms both made private adoption plans. So no prospects right now....... darn!
