Making Our Video

One of the tools our placement agency uses to help birthmothers review profiles of adoptive families is an adoptive family video. We've been working on our over the past few weeks.

I don't think a lot of agencies do this, and although it is sort of intimidating to put together I think the end result will be great! They ask that we shoot video of ourselves doing things we regularly do, and we also sat and answered some interview questions (shown above, in process). They have special staff that will go through the footage that we submit and they will put together a 3-4 minute video that hopefully helps the birthparents feel like they get a better picture of who we are than what can be shown in pictures and words.

"Try to look comfortable."  Yeah.... easier said than done!

We'll be finishing our clips to send in early this next week. Hopefully they'll have some good material to put together a great video for us!!
