A Small Update...

Just wanted to let everyone know that our check has officially been cashed and cleared our bank. Not only that, but our social worker has had the OK on showing our profile as of November 9th (we just found that out yesterday) sooooooooo that truly means be praying cause we could get a call any day. Now when we get "the call" it will mean that a birth mom has selected us after looking at our profile and wants to meet with us, she may have other families selected as well. Once we meet with her and she makes her final decision and then we get "the bigger call" to say we have been chosen and then whatever her due date is becomes our due date, so to speak.
We are praying and trusting that God himself is knitting together a child in his/her mother's womb for us to raise and we want His good, perfect and pleasing will. That it would not be just about getting chosen quickly, but that it would be God's will done alone! Please pray for this along with us. We are willing to wait on God, He is worth it every time!!
Thank you again for all the interest. We love you guys!! We are so BLESSED!

APPROVED!!

We are SO EXCITED, we got our approval letter and pre-adoptive foster care license from Bethany and of course our bill (not so fun, but necessary). We will be sending the check in the mail and as soon as they receive it they will now officially begin to show our profile to birth moms, meaning we could get "the call" any day!?!?!?
Thanks as always for all the support as we waited!!
We are going to our first adoption educational classes this weekend, we have to get 18 hours in each. I know it is going to be really helpful and insightful, this one is all about the birth parents/adoptive parent relationship and how this all affects the adopted child. There will be birth and adoptive parents there and adopted children to share their experiences. We are looking forward to this big time!
