Almost There!

I haven't done an update on our adoption progress in a while, so I thought I should, that's of course if anyone even still reads my silly blog! For those who don't know, completing a home study to even be considered as an adoptive placement is a long and often tedious task. When we first started, we plunged into it head first and were working hard to get things completed as fast as we possibly could. Lately, things have been moving a bit slower then we would like. I am happy to say, however, that the end is in sight. At this point we are just doing some waiting as we wait for Chad's birth certificate to arrive, our marriage certificate (that my parents had for some reason!), and my doctor's appointment to be completed (which happens on Friday). We also have to complete our letter to the birth parents that is part of our online profile. It may seem like a lot to still complete, but believe me, in the grand scheme of things this is nothing! Once these things are finally completed, our caseworker can write up the home study and work on getting us approved for a placement. At this point, it becomes a waiting game, but we know that what is meant to happen will happen in the Lord's time.

For anyone interested in doing some exploring in regards to adoption, check out the Families Supporting Adoption blog. It's a wonderful resource to connect with others who are experience the same things that you are. Also, my dear friend Melissa and I are working on a new blog specifically dedicated to infertility, adoption, and all sorts of "what ifs" that women face. It's just starting and between my work schedule and Melissa's, we haven't had much time to work on it, but check it out anyway! Check it out!
