After researching and researching adoption agencies we chose Caring Adoptions in Houston Texas. We were told about their program and the number of opportunities that were on the horizon. We now know most of this was false information. To get any current updates from them we have to call and email over and over and over again to get an answer. We have been presented with ONE potential match in a three month window. We are invested in them financially or else we would pick up and run as fast as we could. All the money we have paid is non refundable. We feel like we have fallen 1000000000 feet backwards. We feel like we have let our support group down with a poor choice in agencies, however we did not see through the lies. At the time we are apologizing to everyone for any and all disappointments.
I believe I have hit my lowest of lows emotionally. Unless you have been through this before... I do not think anyone can understand the pain that we have in our hearts right now.
Thank you to everyone that has been by our side. Thank to everyone that has helped us reach our financial goals.
We will keep you updated.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We apologize for not posting in a very long time, as you can imagine things have been CRAZY!
We tried to fundraise as much as we could to go with the agency we spoke about previously. However, we did not raise enough money. (big sad face)
BUT we have finally found an agency and it is in...... TEXAS!!!!!!!
Our homestudy/homescreening is COMPLETE!!! We have submitted all of our paper work at this point. Not only are we working with an agency in Texas but we are also working with an agency in Oregon to adopt through the state of Oregon.
So many people have asked why we didn't just adopt through the state since it's not thousands of dollars.
The answer to that is... Oregon does not place infants. IT IS VERY RARE if they do.
Just remember the feeling you had when you brought your first baby home. WE WANT THAT FEELING. We have a nursery we have baby clothes, strollers, bottles, carriers, carseats and anything you can think of a baby would need. So, We want our first to be an INFANT.
SO with that being said YES, we are fundraising again trying to reach the last little bit that we need to make this happen.
We are turning to our family, friends and anyone that wants to support us through this.
Please help us bring OUR baby home.
Thank you ALL for your love and support.
We are selling our jars of pickles and pickled okra to help raise money. Large jars are $10 small jars are $8. If you are outside of Oregon we kindly ask that you include shipping as well. If you live in Oregon we would gladly deliver them to you.
