Steven&Melissa Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Hello Everyone, We are completing the adoption application, and are feeling excited and hopeful. We are looking forward to orientation, and the next steps in our journey to become parents. We welcome any information and/or support. God Bless, Bill & Tara Olive Branch, MS Welcome Bill and Tara! You'll find so much support here on the forum - and a bunch of other Memphis-area folks! My husband and I live in Memphis and there are a bunch of other families here from the area who have provided a ton of support. We just recently completed the application as well and just received an invitation to the orientation at the end of this month. We're happy to provide support to you as you jump each hurdle! This is such an exciting process and you'll meet some great friends here. Take a look around the forum and find the Homesteads section. Then look under United States of Adoption and locate the "MAMS" thread. That's where you'll find the other Memphis families! So glad you're here!

Jocelyn Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Welcome Bill and Tara! My husband Scott and I went through orientation the beginning of February and matched about 6 weeks later, so we are still somewhat "newbies" in the process, but have found that the topics on the forum help a lot. Definitely look around like Melissa suggested as the postings help answer questions and can give you an idea of the process. Everyone on hear is really nice and helpful, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
