Updating...

I know I haven't posted in a while...we are asked all the time, " Have you heard anything yet?" Well, the answer is no, but that is to be expected! We told our social worker we didn't want to hear anything until we had a match. We can ask how often our profile has been shown, were we ever "runner up," etc. But we have chosen not to know. We know that once our profile is in the hands of our child's birth mother it will speak to her heart because it is meant for her. Whether that means she is the first one to look at our profile or the 200th, it is meant for her and we know she will find us when the time is right.

In the meantime we have continued to read our adoption books.


We have made sure our home is surprise social worker visit ready (though that wouldn't happen until after baby is here).
Plug Covers

Getting used to pushing down on the cabinet latches


Excuse the mess, but cleaning supplies moved to a high shelf.
We have all of the basic necessities to bring baby home just in case things happen fast! (All we need is formula!)


I think Buck is excited too!

We have been basking in the sense of anticipation!!!



Our families have been too! Baby McCormack was spoiled this Christmas! Notice the lion pillow pet, rocking horse, teddy bear, picture... lol All from friends and family who are anticipating with us!

I have a baby shoe problem! Shhhh! ;)
I am not going to lie and say we never get anxious or wish baby was already here. There are times we see people with their new bio babies and think, iyiyi, why can't it be that easy for us! (I'm being honest here!) But during those times we just have to remind ourselves and each other that God's timing is perfect!
 
So...next time you want to ask if we have heard anything yet the answer will still probably be no. I'm telling you, if there is news to share I promise, you will hear!!! lol Someone told me the other day they think all of Oakdale will hear us scream when we get "The Call"! I may be dramatic at times, but screaming really isn't me. ;)
 
Thank you all for your love and encouragement and support!!!!
