Woohoo! Our home study is scheduled for Tuesday at 2pm. Please pray for us!

Home Study

We had some trouble with getting our reference letters over to Holt but our last letter was finally received on Wednesday and we were assigned a social worker yesterday. Some friends of ours had the same social worker and said she is awesome. We are hoping to get our home study done ASAP. After our home study is done all we need to do is submit our dossier and the waiting will begin.

Please be praying for our Little One as he/she goes through whatever journey God has for him/her before we have them in our arms.
We could also use prayers about our finances. Specifically for money for our dossier fee and airline tickets.

We love you all and we appreciate your continued prayers and support. I will try to blog more now that I have internet.

Love,
Kristy

Frustrations

It has been a while since I last blogged and it seems like at every turn we hit a road block. It started out with me marking on my background check that I had been arrested and convicted of a felony which caused DHS to return my form. I corrected that and then sent in a request for our marriage certificate only to find that the state couldn't find a record of our marriage. Eventually they found it but not until 4 weeks after I sent in my request. We also had a small issue with our bank and trying to get documents notarized.

For me it can be hard to look past the frustrations to the full picture. Jacob does a great job or reminding me that we do this all for our Little One. I am sure that we haven't come close to all the furstrations that we will encounter during this journey, but I know that just like giving birth, the little person at the end of this journey will be worth the pain and frustration.
