We had a flurry of activity when we first joined the waiting list here in Wisconsin. There were lots of opportunities for our book to be seen and some situations that became almost possible -to much delight and excitement. Alas, though, we are back to just waiting and would love to know that our profile is still circulating out there as we continue this long road to meeting our next child.
Some of you have wondered exactly what type of adoption we are pursuing. Well, we are doing domestic adoption, which means that we are adopting a child who needs a home in the United States. He or she can be from any state, not just where we live. We are open to any gender, multiples(twins, triplets) and any race. We have technically been waiting for an infant (0-12 months) but are open to situations involving children who are younger than 5 as well as sibling groups. We are also looking for a semi-open or open adoption, which means we are open to the birth parents being in some kind of relationship with the child. There is a huge spectrum of what that can look like (sending pictures or letters or even meeting up a few times a year) and we look forward to working that out specifically with the birth parents. We would also consider a closed adoption if that is the preference of a birth parent.
If you or anyone you know would like to know more about us as a family and what it would look like to pursue adoption, please check out our profile. Send us an email at carolynandreedadoption@hotmail.com . Comment on this post and let us know how we can be in touch with you! We would love to talk to you about our family and how much we have prayed and prepared for another child to join us!
As always, please take a moment and post the link to this blog. You never know who might be looking for an adoptive family!
Thanks, Carolyn and Reed
