I too enjoyed having something concrete to do as a step toward (hopefully) parenthood - not that paperwork is super fun, but also not the worst either :) Bethanyhttp://www.adoptionpilgrimage.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133558552627369533.post-58299039492977736242016-05-08T20:23:56.592-07:002016-05-08T20:23:56.592-07:00We used a facilitator to connect us with a birth m...We used a facilitator to connect us with a birth mother as well. They did our profile too. Looking for the perfect pics was so hard. We also did a video. That wasn't very necessary. We felt the same as you...get it done! We did not want to drag out the process for we wanted to be parents and had no idea how long our wait would be. My advice is to really think about what you can afford for birth mother expenses. You MAY have to pay three months before the birth and six to eight weeks afterwards. This is something that was never really clear until we got a match. Put the money aside and have it ready...never know when you are going to need it. Good luck with everything...you can email me if you have questions.prayerfuljourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549430693172260600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133558552627369533.post-73895341499067580822016-05-08T13:39:55.985-07:002016-05-08T13:39:55.985-07:00Dang!

I would imagine that it's a huge relief to have it mostly out of your hands, but also hard to not have anything concrete to do while you wait. I'll be praying for you while you wait!MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05158207759077001196noreply@blogger.com
