Now that our profile is up and active, I figure it's time to start blogging! Of course I'm not exactly sure what it is I have to blog about at 8:43am on this Sunday morning, but here goes.
On the adoption front, progress is slow, but moving forward. We have appointments with a few local adoption attorneys and should be getting copies of our profile from the printers any day now. Hoping I do not have glaring typos that will be forever saved in 150 gloss full color copies...

We are hopeful that we will be blessed again by a wonderful set of birthparents soon. If you, or someone you might know is thinking about adoption please pass our information along to them. http://www.mandamike.com

Never did I think that I would be facing the same road blocks that my parents faced. When I was 3 weeks old I was left with a babysitter and was adopted by my parents at 11 months of age. Now here I sit with my husband researching every possible adoption agency in Colorado and surrounding states. Until now I never fully understood all the details that went into adopting a child. I remember a poem that my mother had cited in an article she wrote a while back and would like to share it with you all.
Not flesh of my flesh,
Nor bone of my bone,
But, Still, miraculously, my own.
Never forget for a single minute,
You did not grow under my hear,
But in it.

We just posted our video profile! Can't wait to see how it looks "live". Our families are getting excited
Hello! We started our adoption journey several months ago, not very long considering how long it takes for the process to go through. But we were lucky enough to be matched up right away! Unfortunately, that plan did not go through, so now we are back out and looking. The future holds unknown events and situations. But we will face it all head on. Won't you contact us and share in this magnificent adventure?

Our names are Loretta and Keith. Our family is built through adoption and we are hoping to adopt another child. Life is a brighter and richer place with Joel, Jonathan, and Jennifer in it. Adoption works to help three parties: the adoptive family, the natural family, and the child. You are looking for a wonderful home for your child and we are looking to open our hearts home and family to a new life. We are very excited to unconditionally love another child and have you such a special part of it! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to introduce ourselves to you.

Hi! We are James and Tiffany and we live in Kansas. We really want to be parents through a domestic adoption. We feel that our midwestern values of hard work, determination, honesty and loyalty are good qualities for being parents. We also have plenty of family and extended family (including great friends) to help us be the very best parents we can once we adopt.
We have been trying to be parents for a while now and while the wait is frustrating and hard, we know it will be worth it once we bring our child home. We have a lovely ranch style home with a huge back yard and plenty of fun neighbor kids around. Our beagle, Marli is ready to play with and watch over our child too.
Please consider us if you know of someone choosing an adoption plan. We would very much appreciate your help in making us parents. Best wishes from our home to yours - Tiffany

Hi there! For our first official blog on this site, I think I'll tell you a little more about us. If you haven't seen our website it's www.freewebs.com/jamesandtiffanyadopt. We are a married couple living in Kansas and we really want to be parents. We've been trying to be parents almost as long as we've been married (almost 5 years!). We're still hopefull it'll all work out through prayers, hope and "dreaming big" as our friends tell us to.
This is a great overview about adoption from one of my favorite websites HowStuffWorks.com
I want to share this article from AdoptionScams.net on how to detect and avoid adoption scams. It has good information about what to expect from an adoption agency and birthmoms. Along with what a birthmom should consider a red flag from a adoption agency or professional.
