Ok...I know its been awhile...again. Can't imagine why I don't just blog every day :) Anyhow, here's the update. We have finished our part of the homestudy. Passed the home visits and have been deemed fit parents (just a little late I think, but we'll take it) The social worker is finishing up her part and hopefully it won't take DHR forever to put the final approval on it all. Pray for that because we need the homestudy to apply for grants....to raise the money....to continue the process. It it is all starting to run together, but I know God is in control and He is always faithful.
We are about finished gathering all of the documents for the Russian packet (aka "the dossier"). Once that's done, paid for, and sent in, we should have a referral pretty quick ("they" say). We've been praying for a quick process and so far I guess it's been pretty steady, but it's like the last 3 months of pregnancy when you can see the end in site, but can't speed things up at all. I just can't wait to meet him, and I worry about him every day. My little Micah even prays for him every night that God will "keep our little brother safe while he's waiting on us to adopt him". It can't say it better myself.
Some more good news is that we've gotten in touch with another family close by that are adopting from Russia too. They are a family of 5 and are just a little ahead of us in the process. The wife and I have emailed some back and forth and exchanged prayer requests. I think this relationship will be such a blessing and I am looking forward to rejoicing with them as they bring their baby home.
So, be in prayer for them too as you pray for us and Jonathan and Jessica. It's amazing to see God calling so many to change the life of a child. Also, we are doing a fundraiser on Valentine's Day to raise money for the adoption. Keep that in your prayers too. Hope to bring more good news soon!
