Adoption Update: Last Homestudy

Pin It
On Tuesday we had our last home study from our social worker Daniel. He had written up a looooong document explaining why we qualify as adoptive parents. Hubs and I read through the many pages and marked the mistakes. Daniel also gave us some paperwork to re-do because the time limit had run out.

It was kind of anticlimactic to be honest. We did paperwork and chatted over coffee but in the same breath it was also exhilarating. We are that much closer to being done with the paperwork machine. Closer to being put on the waiting list for our precious baby. Closer to being the parents of two gifts from God.

Now I am busily redoing the paperwork that expired. Having things notarized for the dossier for our adoption agency. Hubs and I are working on our training. Then off all that paperwork goes for a checking over from our adoption agency. It's a lot of busy work but at this point I actually have something "to do."

When I was in the church office on Wednesday our Pastor warned me of the upcoming wait. That the time of waiting would present it's own challenges. That will be the time to rest in the Lord. My time to pray and rest in His sovereign timing. Here's praying I rise to the occasion and humbly submit. That's whats going on. I will continue to let you all know what's going on. Thanks for all the continued prayers and support!!

  2. I am praying every day for the two of you. The waiting is the worst part but as you know the two gifts you receive from God are worth that wait. Sorry I haven't been in touch as much lately things have been very busy.
