Adoption update...

We hit the ground running back in November getting the pre-application, background checks, adoption videos, etc. done. After Christmas we started the final application paperwork (you can read all about that here...Paperwork and more paperwork...).

But we had a major slow down all of a sudden...Our lovely insurance decided to kick our children off as of January 1. No letter, no phone call! I found out at the end of January when I scheduled Eli's well check-up. Almost 2 months (and lots of prayer) later we finally have them insured again. That slowed us down because part of the paperwork is that the boys have to have physicals and a TB skin test. So we go the last week of March for that (and probably ice cream after having to get pricked with needles).

I am hoping to have all the paperwork mailed to our agency by the first week of April. But we will see; I was hoping before to have it all mailed by the first part of March.

I am not stressing about it because I know God has our little girl for us in His timing. These slow downs are just leading us to our daughter; or baby sister, as she is called for right now by the boys. :)

Matthew loves to pray for baby sister! He says, "baby sister, amen!" I would love to know what that little mind is picturing when he prays for baby sister. I am sure it is not at all what is coming his way!

Ms. Pat, the director of Children of the World, put this on her Facebook page last night...

 

That is very encouraging and exciting for us!!

 

For now, I am staying busy making door hangers (see here) and getting busier with photo sessions (Heather Green Photography). We are looking forward to Spring Break and Easter coming up!!
