Process up to date!

Friends
We have now completed the rest of the paperwork on this end. Next step is finding out who will be joining our family. I have a great feeling about this and I am looking forward to the next leap of faith. Please pray we are on the right track and that God is being glorified in everything!
Thank you all for reading, I would love any input from those of you who have done this. This is our first adoption and we are very happy.

And they are OFF!!!!

Dear Friends,
Please pray for our families that are out of country. They are out retrieving the special picked children that God has set aside just for them. I will have 4 additional family members for the next couple weeks and feel honored to be the one to help. I am sure any one of these children would rather have their own mom or dad home, but what troopers they are. Day one went great and day two is off to a fine start. I am looking forward to this blended family and I am going to take every opportunity to learn from this. Thank you all who read...Feel free to send advice.
Our adoption is still in the makings. We have sent everything off and now are waiting to hear who they refer to us. I know it is a long process and what a waiting game. But I do have faith God is in the mix and as long as He is getting the glory for what we do then things are moving as planned. Thank for checking, we will talk soon!!!

Home study COMPLETE

Hello all my readers!!! It is finally here, the home study has arrived. I will be heading to next day deliver it to my placement agency and then it will be referral time. Please pray that God sends us the sibling set that is just what He wants for us. Allow God to be glorified with the next stage of this process and that He is in control of the financial end to bring them HOME! Thank you all for your prayers. Keep my friends Cindy, Traci and Melinda in those prayers too as they head out to the Ukraine and Ethiopia for their children.

Waiting

It has never been easy for humans to wait. Whether it is for food, commercials, or the sequel to your favorite movie. But as for me...waiting has become something I think God has for me. I am waiting for the home study, waiting for DCFS, and now waiting to find out WHO my children will be. I am very happy and eager to wait on these things because I know God is in control. HE is doing the needle work and I am just one stitch in this families beautiful tapestry. I want to say thanks to all of you who are praying, and for those of you going through the same process...I am praying for you too. Summer is near and I think news will come soon and travel soon after, so as for now I lift this up to YOU LORD and I know you will send it back ready for us to move forward. Have a great weekend all!! We will talk soon
