Update on our adoption...

People have been asking us…"So how’s the adoption process going?"…

I thought I would take a moment and update everyone on what’s been going on with our adoption. We finished our home study and it was submitted on March 31st. It had to be reviewed and then we would need to schedule one final “interview” appointment with our agency. Well, we had our final “interview” on Tuesday afternoon and all went very well. We officially became a waiting family that same afternoon. YEAH!!!!!

At the appointment they looked over our scrapbook which I made to introduce us to potential birth families. They told me the changes and additions that needed to be made. I made those changes right when I got home from our appointment. I ordered our scrapbooks (3 of them) and they should be here soon. Why three!?! One our agency will keep one here, in the town where we live, and the other two will be sent to their satellite agencies. Meanwhile, birth families will be directed to our agencies website where they can browse and look at the waiting families. We sent in the pictures and information needed to go on the website so our family should be on there soon too.

So now what!?! Well…we wait, pray, and watch God work. This is the part of the whole process that I am most excited about. I know God will bring our precious daughter into our lives at just the right time. We have committed this adoption to Him and want nothing more than to praise Him every step of the way.

So…this is where we are today. Waiting! Waiting on God to work! This is a great place to be!!
