We’ve now presented 67 times and still have yet to have a mama see our family as “THE” family for her child. It’s so hard to get the notes that say, “This mama has chosen a family. This is just a “not yet”” it’s hard to hear/read the “no” but we also know that that baby truly wasn’t meant to be ours and that mama found a connection with a family which is SUCH a huge win for everyone! I can’t help but be disappointed though. This seems so much like a marketing scheme – if the book looks just right and you say just the right words – ugh! The truth is we all like to see things a certain way. Certain messages and ads stand out to some people and not to others. Other pictures capture the attention of someone but not someone else. The same is true in this situation – a busy profile book or complicated pictures or wording could be all it takes to make a mama close our profile book and move onto the next. We’ve tried to save money where we could including our profile book the first time around but since we’re now close to being fully funded, we need to step-up our game a bit and pull in a professional profile book designer to put our best foot forward and catch the eye of the mama out there looking for our family. We’ll start the new profile process soon so we can get an updated version out there. Please continue to pray the right mama sees us at the right time as we do our best to shine as bright as we can!
