Increasing our advertising

Sorry, this is a little late; we don't have a reason for not posting.  We honestly have just been enjoying time together and preparing SML for her LAST semester of nursing school.  We've spent a lot of time in front of the tv, but in our "old people" recliners.  We're having our couch recovered.  Man, do we miss it!  I think Avs does as well...she doesn't have any good napping spots downstairs.  :)  So, at times it looks like a bachelor pad in our living room or depending on how much stuff has accumulated around the chairs, it looks like an older couple lives here.

We had 8 letters go out to birthparents in December and were favorited by one.  That's better than October and November.  We've had a couple contacts, but nothing serious. 
One was a scam, but she only stole 24 hours of our life and we nipped that in the butt quickly.
The other was a contact that we didn't feel comfortable with.  She had a 6 month old baby that she had only been taking care of for 2 months.  He was an ex-26 weeker preemie and seemed to have a stable hospital stay, but doesn't sound to be thriving/growing well and may have neurological issues.  Without a developmental study, we aren't sure, but he's only 10 pounds, sleeps ALL of the time, and can't tolerate being unswaddled at all. 

So, with nothing serious happening at 14 months on the books (but who's counting), we decided to increase our advertising.  We are paying almost double for our facebook and google ads.  We also joined another online networking/advertising adoption page called Adoptimist.  We hope to gain more attraction from legit birthparents and find our birthmom.

We'll post pics soon of our new living room do. :)
