Well, the agency contacted us this week and said we would probably be waiting another week to hear from our social worker. They are doing some re-arranging in the offices and re-assigning cases. We should know by next Wednesday and be able to meet her and get the next step going! They did tell us to get physicals for the rest of the family members in the family to get started on that step. My physical is already completed and Nolan got his 3 year physical done in February so he is done too! I faxed his doctor the paperwork to complete yesterday and she had it back to me by days end. Amazing! Ross and Ian have their physicals at the end of the month and then we can check that step off!!
Thinking now that we won't be "officially" waiting until around the beginning of June. It seems the agency is extremely busy and maybe possibly short staffed so the process is not going as fast as other adoptions I know have. Trying to keep reminding myself that this is all part of God's plan and that he is teaching us to be patient and wait for Him!

God's timing is always good!
We have been formally approved!!!! We received the letter today and are more than happy to move on to the next step which will consist of some essay questions, referrals, doctor appointment for Ross, fingerprinting, background checks, and then..the home study!!!
Some other good news is that we just did our taxes today and had a really good tax year. I have been stressing out so much lately knowing that some larger agency fees were due soon and wondering how we were going to pay them but as we know, God always provides and he showed through today when we received a very nice tax return. Enough to help us through a few more stages in the adoption!!
We are excited that we will be announcing our adoption soon too!!! We wanted to make sure we were formally approved with the agency and also that my health concerns were taken care of. I didn't want to tell everyone we were doing this and then find out we were denied because of something. So if you are reading this now....we have announced it!
