New Start!

This week has been a bit slower on the adoption front, which is ok as we were dealt a blow with Anne breaking her leg over the past weekend.  She got her cast today so hopefully will be on the mend soon.

As for our adoption - - on Tuesday we mailed our 18 mos contract with a nice sum check to Angel Adoption to start their advertising for us.  It has been such a PLEASANT change to email someone and actually get a response, much less that same day!  Amazing - - so not what we are used to!!  I gave the fax number to our social worker so she would know where to send our home study.  I did not hear a response back, so checked with Angel Adoption to see if they had heard anything.  Not surprisingly, their answer was no.  So next week, I will again try to pursue getting our home study to Angel Adoption.

Once Angel Adoption receives our check and contract, we will begin more frequent communication with them as they send us requests for what they need to build our profile FOR us.  So hopefully, next week, we can get started on that process as well.  Can you tell I am excited to start working with someone who will be doing the work for us???! :)

Our biggest hurdle that I see right now is once again involving the home study. :(  The home study needs to be valid in all states, and I have asked about that, but have not been given a response.   So we are praying that: 1) Our home study will be valid for all states, and 2) That our social worker will quickly get our home study to Angel Adoption.  Thankfully, I do think we have a bit of time, as it will take 1-2 weeks from what I understand for our profile to be ready to go active, but I don't think we will be able to be shown if they haven't received our home study.  

Thanks for continuing to pray as we wait on our next forever child!
