Well, we did it! We got over the hurdle and our profile is done! I, truly, did not have much to do with the whole process. Matt did most of it. I offered come constructive criticism here and there and I wrote a lot of the text but other than that, it was all Matt, and I couldn't be more in love with it! He did such an amazing job. Even our social worker said that our profile was "AMAZING".
We now have to get 15 copies of our profile printed and put them into clear sleeves and drop them off at the agency. Then we will actually be live and waiting!
When we were first starting our profile we went into the agency to look through some other profiles just to get some ideas. I certainly don't want to put other couple's profiles down because they did what they could (and we are just lucky enough to be both graphic artists and do design for a living) but I really feel that ours is so unique. It really represents us and our personalities to a T! I can't help but be optimistic about our chances of being matched quickly. I obviously need to stop thinking like that because I don't want to be disappointed if/when it takes longer than a month or two. We just have to keep in mind that the reason we aren't being chosen is because the right birth mother hasn't come along yet and not because they don't think we'd be good parents.
I know I promised pictures of the nursery in my last post. And I WILL get that done soon. We've just been so busy trying to finish up the profile and other projects that needed to be done. Things are still really busy right now but I'm going to try and get pictures of the nursery posted this weekend or early next week. I can't promise anything though!
