Chair Rail is Up!!!

Well the bedding came in the mail yesterday and i LOVE it!!! It is so soft and sweet. dh also got the chair rail up last night and it looks SOOOOOOOOOOO good. We still have to get up the crown molding, paint the exisiting trim, baseboards and closet and do final touch up and then we are DONE. As long as everything goes well with teh crown, we should be done this weekend.

I got a confirmation e-mail from the agency yesterday that we all set with our preference change to 100% Hispanic. I am really hopeful that we will get a match soon (I hope I don't end up disappointed) When we originally signed up with the agency they said if we chose 100% hispanic we would get a match right away, but I don't know if that is still true now. I know my new years resolution was to not jump when the phone rings but I am finding that even harder now that I have my hopes up for a quick match. This waiting is just so hard!!! Dh and I are really good people, with a strong marriage, great families and SOOO much love to give........I hope some pbm sees that soon!!!!

Do any of you find yourself second guessing your profile and wondering if there was something in there you should have done better. I was thinking last night, maybe I should re-do teh baby's room page now once the room is done, since it looked totally different before. Our profile is an actual scrapbook, it isn't online so I would have to re-do the page and make copies and then send it to the agency to have them swap it out. I wonder if it is worth while doing or not. What do you think? I am sure my need to do it stems from the fact that it would give me a feeling of doing something, instead of being so helpless. I am sure it can't hurt to do it. We will see how i feel when we get it done. I will take pictures and post them when it is done.

Do it! Change out the pages. If anything to just be able to do something aside from waiting. I can't wait to see the photos!

Do you know that I have never even seen our profile??? Isn't that crazy? Our consultant kept promising to send us a copy and just never did. I finally just gave up and quit asking. But I really do wonder how it looks!

I think that if it would make you feel better to change it, go for it! Some birthmoms like to have a visual of the baby's room, so I have heard.

Hi - just found your blog! That's funny, i've been thinking the same thing about updating a profile. We did ous 7 months ago (scary that's it been out there for so long without any progress!) and so much has happened since then. We've set up a baby's room and both ran a triathalon. It would be cool to include all that new stuff. I say if you feel like changing it, then just do it!! Welcome to blogland. There are a lot of adoptive parents to be out here and you will find a lot of support :)

I wonder sometimes about changing it, and I did talk to the agency about it. My contact there said not to worry about it yet, and she assured me that if no birth mothers had an interest in us the agency would get feedback from the birth mothers and we would make changes accordingly.
