Adoption Profile

Our adoption profile book is finally complete! Yeah!

When we were first told to create an adoption profile we thought, "This is going to be fun!"  Then we started to realize how important it was.  We understood why adoptive parents squint and say, "Ooh, have you written your profile yet?" (Because, it's very hard to do.)

You see, an adoption profile is a photo book preview of your life - family, marriage, interests, dreams, home, parenting style - a "first impression" to birth parents.  All in a few short pages.  And mostly through pictures.

Fun? Not so much…too much is riding on this to be fun… pressure is a better word. And it might just be the most uncomfortable thing we've ever done. (Every adoptive parent we've met said they felt the same).

We worked over many, many weeks, but realized it would be impossible to share everything in one book!  So we focused on showing our personalities, life and our deep longing to be parents.   It wasn't easy.  Thankfully, our fabulously talented and amazing friend, Jen, transformed our words into a beautiful profile book. (Check her out at http://jlcieslak.com).

We hope birth parents will see it and want to learn more about us.  We're confident that if they do, they'll see we're a fun, genuine couple who can't wait to be called "Mom" and "Dad."
