Dear Baby,
Yes I know it's been a long time since I have written, but there is so much to tell you. The first good news is that we got our home study packet back. I got it and read it and found these words "I recommend that Meagan and Russell be adoptive parents!" That means we are one step closer. Oh, when you do arrive, you have some thank you notes to write. Some very special people wrote letters on our behalf saying how good of parents we would be. And though we only used 4 of them, I had so many people offer. That means there are so many people pulling for you, and us!
The second bit of good news is that we bought you a car. Ok well, not exactly. We bought a car for you to ride in. As far as you driving, maybe by that time you can use this car. Of course by that time we may be teleporting everywhere like in Star Trek. What's Star Trek you ask? Nevermind.
That's the good news so far. Next we will put together our profile book.
Hopefully soon I'll have another update with good news.
Hopefully soon I'll be able to tell this to you in person, in real time, instead of writing it ahead of time.

Dear Baby #2: Praying and Preparing
Dear Baby,
Preparations are under way even though we don't know when you will be here. We want to be ready. We do have a room picked out. It's right across from our room so you'll be close. We've already chosen some colors.. brown and green I believe. We even have had some toys, rockers and other stuff donated too.
We did our home study. That's where someone checks out us, and our house to make sure it's ok for you to come live with us. Oh and we went to the doctor who ran tests to make sure we are healthy enough to take care of you. We are still waiting on some results but it seems everything is going fine. We also have to wait a little while for some paperwork and such to get done, but soon we will be putting our profile for your mom to see. Once that happens it could be any time.
So until then we are waiting and praying. We are praying for your mom's health and the choice she has to make. We're praying for you too. And don't worry, we aren't the only ones praying. There are so many people who are praying for us, and for you too.

Dear Baby: #1 Introduction
Dear Baby,
Let me introduce myself.. I am Russell and my wife is Meagan. We live in a house with 4 puppies and a kitty cat. Meagan teaches school, and I lead music at our church.
Our house is a nice small house in the city. It has a yard out back with a small garden, and a tree where I can put a swing. I think thought we'll have to save the swinging for sometime other than August, it's hot!!!
Inside the house we already have a room picked out for you! Right now there's not much in it but we are working on collecting a crib, dresser, toys and all the other stuff you will need.
The colors are brown and green. I hope you like them, but if not we can change them once you are old enough to tell us what colors you do like.
It seems kind of weird writing to you because we have no idea who you are, or when you will come to live with us. Just know this.. we are praying for you, we are praying for your birth mom and we can't wait till you come to live with us.
It's late so I'll say good night.
Love You
