We Had Our 1st Meeting!

Last night, Rob and I had our first meeting with Christian Family Adoptions! It was so exciting! It was a general information session, with answers to our specific questions. We also got to look thru a picture book of waiting children...which eventually I had to put away, because I wanted to take most of them home with me. Anyways, we have officially finished our application process and paid our application fee as well, and now we are waiting for all of our references to come in, our criminal background check, and our doctors letter to arrive at the adoption agency. Once those are received, we will be able to start our home study process. They say that should start in 4 - 6 weeks. Then we are signed up for an intensive class one weekend in July. Once we have been certified to adopt thru the state, we go back to looking thru the picture books of waiting children and begin our selection process.

That's all for now. If you think of us, remember to pray for us. Pray for unity, clear heads and direction. Also, pray for our girls that this transition would go as smoothly as possible. We appreciate your prayers. We'll let you know more as the process transpires. Isn't this just so exciting!!!
