Going on 8 months...

Well...September 1st marks the 8 month mark that we have been working on our adoption plan. Can't believe that it's taking this long. It's pretty disappointing. I could have almost had a baby myself during this time!

We received our home study in the mail the other day and reviewed it for errors. Unfortunately, there were a few errors so our SW will have to fix it and re-send. It has already been sent to her supervisor for approval and we are waiting (hopefully) any day now for her to approve it. (or not approve it I guess..) She has had it in her hands for two weeks so I'm really hoping to hear something back sooner than later.

I'm a little disappointed because our profile books have been done for months now and in that time I've taken so many more good pictures I would have loved to include in it! No going back now but makes me a little sad that I jumped into the books so fast.

Hoping I don't have to do a post "waiting for 9 months".........

Please pray that if this is in God's plan for us to become adoptive parents that we get approved soon. I don't know how much more he can possibly test my patience! :)

This journey we're on...

Wow--they aren't a kiddin' when they say this whole adoption thing is a journey. We have now been on this "journey" for a little over 7 months and our homestudy is still not approved! Unbelievable.

As hard as it's been just waiting for our homestudy to get approved, I know the real hard part hasn't even begun. Luckily, as we are waiting for our homestudy to get approved we have been super busy this summer so we really haven't had too much time to dwell on it! Knowing this is all in God's plan definitely makes it more comforting too. Either we aren't exactly ready yet, or the perfect child God has picked out for us isn't ready for us yet. Either way, we know it's just not our time.

I talked to our social worker today and our homestudy is off to get approved by her supervisor and in the mail for Ross & I to approve. As long as we approve it and her supervisor approves it, we are officially approved! How joyful that day will be when/if it comes!!! :)

Praying my next post is some super good news.

Until then,
