Adoption Paperwork, Decisions, and Frustrations

Tweet If you have been reading Social Studies Momma for a bit you will know that Hubs and I are in the process of adopting a baby from Ethiopia.We started this process back in September.

At first we were on fire. We chewed through paperwork. We ran here and there gathering information. We went at a break neck pace for several months. I started to feel overwhelmed. Like I had to go at this pace. Like I had to do it all as soon as possible.

The holidays came and we stopped. Stopped filling out paperwork and put off a very big decision. The decision was, who would raise our precious children if we were to die? Oh the heartache in such a decision.

I am happy to say that we are finally back on the paperwork train. The important decision was made and the people we chose happily accepted our request to raise our children if we should go home to heaven before our babies.

I am also resting in the Lords timing. Within the last few weeks God has provided us with enough money to cover the first round of big fees. I take that as a sign to get my behind in gear. I hear you God, thanks for the message!
