Jenn

Our adoption specialist!! We met her on Friday before we headed up to the Williams area for a weekend of camping (by the way, it was fun). Her and her supervisor came out to the house for our first home visit. Both Josh and I were excited and anxious for their arrival.

We woke up early that morning, worked on the church yard, our own yard and spruced up the kitchen (I had worked on the rest of the house earlier in the week).  We also packed the car for our camping trip, got cleaned up and waited...  We were exhausted.

I'm not sure what I expected, but to me she is beautiful because she is going to be a big help in our journey. I suppose it may be how a couple feels when they go to the doctor & he tells them all about their baby. She is very young and we are her first clients. I'm excited for her and I hope we can make her job easy.

They asked us a number of questions about why we'd like to adopt, etc. and then left us with a pack of paperwork to fill out.

On our way up to Kaibab Lake I read the company's policies and the many questions in our profile packets. Instead of an aching back and swollen feet I'll have writer's cramp from all the writing I'll be doing in the next couple days (sorry moms who have carried children - I know it's not a very good comparison)!

But I'm sure I'll say the same thing probably every mom has said, "it was worth it."
