Adoption Profile Book

We are starting the adoption process again. Everything is done except for the home study that I am impatiently waiting for. While waiting, we have been working hard on our adoption profile book. This is basically your first impression. It lets someone get to know a little about your family, who you are, and what you have to offer a child that may come into your home. If you have never gone through this, it is an exhausting, emotional, labor of love. How do you sum up how great you think your family is? How to make your personality come through? What about your family might catch the eye of a potential birth mother all the while being completely genuine? We went through so many drafts and had our families edit it over and over. Things like this just affirm that I am not a writer.  I finally feel like our personality comes through which was the hardest thing. I'm pretty happy with the finished product. Now back to more waiting!
