Only God knows the answer to that. Now that our home study is complete, it could be as soon as tomorrow (some women call Lifetime from the hospital) or more than a year from now. It all depends on when we get matched with a birth mom. Birth mothers are usually about seven months pregnant when they are matched with an adoptive couple, but no earlier than five months. Lifetime has been presenting us to birth moms since June with a temporary profile. Our official profile should be finished soon. A profile is basically a scrapbook with pictures and a letter to the birth mother or birth parents from us. It tries to describe what life would be like for their child if they choose us. It is a more detailed version of what appears on our website. So, now we wait for a birth mother or parents to decide that they want to talk to us. We then set up an agreeable time, and they call us on a 1-800 # we have set up. After that conversation we both tell Lifetime if we would like to be “matched”. If we both say yes, then we are considered match, and that is the baby that will be ours! We are really excited for this next step and we pray for God to bring us together with the right birth mother for us.
