Joe and I have been making a ton of check lists to keep track of all the applications we are filling out, pictures we need for our family profile, documents we need, books we've read, video's we've watched and the list goes on!
Even with all the hard work, it is such an exciting time for us!
We are working with Christian Adoption Consultants who are such a blessing to help us navigate this journey.
We have completed our 3 Home Study visits, we have done our local back ground check, our fingerprinting is done and sent off to be validated and verified, our references have sent in kind words, our employment has been verified, our financials have been verified, our doctors visits have been done, we have done our 10 hours of training, we have proofed our preliminary Home Study approval....now we wait for our FBI background checks and clearance to come back so our Home Study can be completed!
Check the box....now we wait!
We are gathering pictures and writing our story for our Family Profile books that will be sent to the agencies for birth mothers to look through and hopefully pick us! We have to send in approximately 100 or so pictures and this may seem like an easy task, but it isn't when we need pictures of me and I am usually the one taking the pictures, so next weekend we hopefully will get the remainder of our pictures taken so we can send our information and pictures off so we can check that box....
We are also filling out applications for the different agencies we will be applying to once our Home Study is approved and our Family Profile is done...more paperwork!
We are praying daily that God will be preparing the birth mother's heart so she will be open and receptive to our profile...
We are praying daily for a child/children that will one day add to our family...
We are praying daily for God to be preparing us for our journey!
Please pray with us!
Joe and I are also trying to raise money for our journey...if you would like to help, please visit our fund raising website....
