Adoption

So as many of you know we are getting ready to adopt! We are currently in the middle of writing our birth parent letter then we are ready to be finalized! We thought it be fun to show at least one pic. that we are putting on there.




This is the pic. we used for our Christmas card. Jared just wasn't cooperating in attending a concert with me, so I had to do something about it. I think he'll do better next year.


We thought that some of you might be interested in some of the "getting to know you" questions we had to answer for the birth parents. So here ya go! These ones weren't nearly intense as the ones they asked for the adoption agency.
