You Tube

So as I told you in this post, our adoption agency asked us to be part of a pilot they are conducting for families to create video profiles - normally adoptive families create a written family profile with pictures and essay's (it's the same version you can view by clicking "American Adoptions Profile").

Well our video is now complete. We filmed it over Christmas and the week after, and gave them some extra footage from our 5 year anniversary trip to Costa Rica. We interviewed three couples from our home group but only 2 made the video, and taped so much other great footage of our families, but it was cut down to about3 minutes.  And they wouldn't let Matt make the edits, but they let us weigh in on the final video. As an FYI, it's not listed in the public view but you can watch it here!

Enjoy!



Thanks to Meredith, David, Dawn, Owen, Paul, and Beth for taking the time during our holiday small group party to participate in the interviews. Thank you Laura and Dar for allowing footage of your precious boy, whom we love so very much, to be in the video as well. Thanks to our family who let us tape our holiday parties (even though the footage didn't make it.) We love you guys!
