waiting.....

So this is what the waiting feels like. Just waiting. 

We've got our packet of forms into the Columbia Bethany office and now we are waiting on two things.

1. Our background checks to clear.
2. Our reference letters to go out and come back from our friends and family.

This will take around 2-3 weeks. So hopefully by the end of April we will be able to begin our home study visits.

In the meantime, we are working on finishing up online training videos and reading the required three books to be discussed at our home visit.

We covet your prayers as we seek patience and God's perfect will for our family and the children He has for us.

    We have a list of about 10 books, but we just choose three. Right now I'm reading 20 Things Adopted Children Wish Their Adopted Parents Knew.
    Thank you for your prayers! We desire for God's perfect Will to be done!!!
