Dear Friends and Family

Just a quick note to keep you all in the loop…

John and I have been married for four years and love being settled in California. I keep waiting for us to start feeling “grown up” but it seems that not much as changed over the last few years. I don’t think the really “grown up” feelings really start to kick in until you have something to measure your life against like a kindergartener’s first day of school, or a daughter’s first date, or when your baby leaves for college (sorry Mom, had to put it in there).

That being said, we don’t always have a choice or much control over the way family members enter our family, but John and I truly feel it’s time for us to be “grown ups” and even someone’s parents. So we are excited to be moving forward with the adoption process.

We have been approved through LDS family services and are at this point officially “waiting”. Since you all know me, and know that patience has not always been my virtue, I like to think of it more as “finding”. This means that our profile is available for a birth parent to choose for placement. Somewhere a birth parent is looking for us, and we are looking for a birthparent.

So why do you care? You may not. That’s fine. But on the other hand you might be really excited for us and possibly might play a role in helping us find our baby. Or you just might be curious about the whole process. At any rate, we thought you should know.

If you’re interested in viewing our profile it is available at…

www.ldsfamilyservices.org

Go to birth parent section, search profiles and our profile name is JohnandYannette.

We would love to hear any feedback or answer any questions you might have. Also, please feel free to forward our information on to any third party you might know to be interested.

We are very open and excited about the process. Thank you for all of your support and encouragement.

Love,

John and Yannette
