Facebook page - It is under Roger and Stephanie's Adoption. If anyone wants to go and look at it and give me some feedback. I want to get some more pictures up there. and start updating it on a more regular basis. Our contact info is under the About section. PLEASE, feel free to look us up and "like" our page! I am encouraging everyone I can to do this. The more people that like our page, the more notice we will get.
New Cell phone number. - I added a line to our service with Verizon, specifically for the adoption. I did this because we knew that this number is going to be available to many people and while we hope to find an expectant mother this way, we may find some other people who are looking to prank, or just be obnoxious. If a situation with an expectant family presents itself, then we will give them our normal number.
Tear away flyer - I found this idea through an adoption website that I joined. Quite a few adoptive parents have done this. We recently took a trip to North Carolina to visit my family, and I was able to post some of the flyers and give them out to some family members who said they would post them at various places for us as well.
Word of mouth - I have been telling any and everyone that will listen that we are looking to adopt. So many adoptive parents that I have met were able to connect with expectant families this way.
I have also contacted quite a few attorneys in Tennessee, Michigan, Illinois, North Carolina and Georgia. I am choosing states that not only do we have family there, but it would not be too long of a drive. The reason for this is that if a child is born in another state, before that child can leave the state you have to have an approval from the birth state. It can take several months. I would rather not fly with an infant, so driving it is.
Dear friends, please remember us in your prayers. We want to make sure that we are always walking in Gods will.
Thank you for stopping by!!
