oh my golly!


I seriously think that this may have been the longest that I have ever gone without blogging!! I was having some serious withdrawals :)
Where have I been?
Taking care of business my friends, that's where!
When I haven't been getting ready for the new school year, and decorating a nursery, I have been working on creating Adam and I's Adoption Profile Book.
An Adoption Profile Book is a scrapbook of sorts that is given to expecting parents who are considering an adoption plan for their child. 
With most domestic adoptions you need to provide your adoption facilitator with a Profile they can show to birthparents.  The birthparents then use these so that they can select a forever family for their baby. 
Enough pressure to make this amazing??
I searched through many examples and they were great but looked very "cookie-cutter" which isn't really my style.  Now, do I go with cookie cutter? or do I go with Janel and Adam?
I decided to go with what we like, since this book is supposed to represent us.
Here is the cover:

and here is a little peek from the inside:


Yeah there is like 20 more pages too!!
What do you think so far?
It's funny that this little 25 page storybook of our lives could be the deciding factor for a birthmother to choose us for their child.
I better get back to it!!
I will be back tomorrow with my regular daily postings.

love.
