Meeting with Social Worker

Today was our scheduled time to meet with our social worker, but as some of you know, there was a chance that she was going to have to be out of town and the meeting might have to be rescheduled.  Praise the Lord, she was back in town and we were able to not only meet with her, but go to her house and join her for supper! :) 

We were able to get some questions answered, and now we are basically in the waiting phase.  There is a bus load of birth mom's coming in tomorrow, but she didn't know how many, etc.  Will there be a match for us?  Who knows, but am continuing to pray for our social worker as she tries to find the "perfect" fit for our family.

Re-Try the Fingerprints

I was finally able to get some answers from the KBI and I think, and hope, that we got everything figured out.  So today, we sent the fingerprints back in and are praying that this time, the process will go through!  We are thankful we didn't have to go and get our fingerprints retaken. :)

Fingerprints....

Gotta love all the minute details of paperwork.   Imagine being excited to open a nice big brown envelope in the mail, only to find that your fingerprints for the background checks have been returned.  Grr!!  Am working on trying to contact the KBI as to why.  Our social worker is just as confused as we are so hopefully we'll be able to get this whole thing straightened out without too much hassle!  Thanks for all of your continue prayers and support!!

Meeting Scheduled

I talked with our social worker this morning and the plan is to meet with her on October 30.  Will pray that we'll be able to get all the information to her that she is needing to help with the trail of paper work that comes along with an adoption.

As of right now - - it appears that the possible child, due in January is not a match for us.  We continue to look forward to who God has for our family!  The children are very excited and are wondering why it is taking so long for us to get our baby! :)  So thankful that God is in control!

Great Deals

This past week we finished up physicals and have started trying to figure out all the fun details that go along with taking out an adoption loan.  We are considering two different options at the moment and would appreciate prayers for us that God would provide above and beyond what we could ever ask for in regards to the expenses that go along with adoption.

We have also been having fun keeping an eye out for good deals as most of our baby items have been sold.  SO...we are having to restock.  Below is a picture of some of thegreat deals we have been blessed with thus far.  Thank you for continuing to pray for our family as we wait for our forever child.  The younger children are starting to get impatient, wondering why it is taking so long for our baby to come home. :)  Hopefully this next week, we will be able to touch base with our social worker - - no new updates yet in regards to the possible baby in January.  Will ask about that when we are able to touch base next.

Possible Case?

We received a call from our social worker today about a possible child for us.  She is meeting with the birth mother today, who is due with a boy, at the beginning of January.  We do not know the history, etc, of this birth mother as this would be the first real contact our social worker has had with her.  Please be in prayer as we wait to see how the Lord works in this possible child for our family.  Its hard to not get excited, but I am also trying to be cautious as we went through several possibilities, before we got to take home our precious Adia.  Thanks for praying!  Will keep you posted as we learn more.

We are in the process of getting physicals done, as required for part of our home study, and then next week, I hope to see about getting our home study scheduled!
