Dear Baby #4- Got Whoop?

Dear Baby,
This is something you are going to have to understand. Your momma is an aggie. This means a few things:
1. Your favorite color isn't burnt orange.
2. The day after thanksgiving there is a football game on. Don't make plans.
3. You had better get used to receiving gifts like this. Sometime tells me this is only the beginning.

Adoption Update #1

I thought we'd take a chance and update you on where we are in the process. As of now we have turned in our initial paper work and completed our home study.

Step two is raising the money needed to activate our profile. This way we will be visible to birth moms and they could potentially choose our profile. This first step costs around $1700.

Russell has created a CD called "Hopes Prayers and Lullabies" and is selling it to help with this cost. We figure we need to sell around 220 for this first step.

We also have been working on our profile book. It is a collection of photos, like a scrapbook, that shows who we are, what our home is like, the things we like to do etc... The birth mom will look at this book when she is deciding on a family for her child.

In other news we have begun collecting baby stuff. We now have a crib, pack and play, glider, and a few toys etc... Special thanks to our friends who are so kind to pass their baby items on to us.

Whats next? Finish selling the CDs and get on the waiting list. That's really the next step.
We thank you for your continued support and prayers.

If you would like to purchase "Hopes Prayers and Lullabies" you can do so by going to http://www.indieheaven.com/artists/russellmartin. We are about a third of our way to our goal.
Thanks again,

Russell and Meagan
