One of my favorite times of the day is when Wade comes home and spends one-on-one time with Liliana. Usually my ruffians play "chase" or "jail" or some other rowdy game, while Liliana laughs and squeals in delight. The photo above was taken during a mellow clay-molding activity. Wade made it more manly by incorporating a dinosaur and a prison. What's the deal with captivity around here?
On to adoption. We're officially in the full-service adoption program with Bethany Christian Services. Right now we're in a holding pattern. According to our social worker, Aimee, Bethany's domestic program is "a little slow" these days. When things pick up (and more expectant parents seek placement services), we'll be checking our email with great anticipation. From now on, Aimee sends us each available adoption situation for our perusal. After reviewing a specific situation, we determine whether we would like our profile to be presented to the birth parent. When an expectant parent views our portfolio and chooses us, a match is made. And that's how it works!
By the way, I would be remiss if I didn't give a loud shout-out to Jim J.--friend, neighbor and creative genius--who provided his expertise to make our profile absolutely gorgeous! It perfectly represents our family. Wade and I are so appreciative that we must now consider J.J. for our next child's name, whether it is a boy or a girl!
Blessings to all!
