DONE....but not finished
3 1/2 hours and $300 later, I am done with the copies of the profile. I went into Kinkos and the girl said nicely that she could not copy them because there were a few professional pictures. I was going to be very upset but she did say i could color-copy them myself so i did---79 double sided sheets (so i actually was dealing with 158 copies). Then she said i could laminate them all myself ---that was cool because i could do it all myself and make sure it was exactly how i wanted it. The laminating makes it look SO good ---then they used a spiral....so professional! The girl was SO nice and said a lot of people do their profiles at Kinkos....but ours looked the best she has seen. She said they usually have a great cover and back page but the middle is boring. Ours, she said, was great on the inside and made us look "fun". I hope thats a good thing....lol. ("i don't want them to have my baby, they look like they have too much fun and would let the baby wander away.....")
This morning we went in to sign the papers for the loan and the woman found a mistake in the percentage of the interest so she must do them all over. Now we can't sign the papers until Tuesday and not get the money until the end of next week - delays delays! ARG
as soon as the money is in the back we will write the big check for all the porfiles to be sent in and then we will be shown!!!!! woooopie
We opened up a checking account for the baby----all the loan money will go in there and money we will start to put into it every month once the loan is paid off----watch out,k it's a college fund!!!!!

That is great that your profile is finished! Everything you do throughout the adoption process puts you one step closer to your child. :)
I agree that most people would want fun parents. I think the fact that your profile shows that will be a definite plus.
Good luck!
hey..i read your comment on my blog. and, i didn't mean to offend. i was quoting some reserarch that a friend had sent me. and im glad that your case was different...but in my case, and in so many others, the adoptee's feelings are completely disregarded.
Hi there--I found your blog through your comment on my blog--last year we were exactly where you are today.....and right now our 5 month old baby is sleeping soundly in the next room!!!
I'm lovin' your blog-it's so happy and positive-I'm sure your profile looks great too.
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck, and a very short wait!
