Quick Update

Haven't had a chance to update but thought I better just to keep track of my dates. As of the week before last we are officially home study approved! We had our last home study meeting with Cheri (in Cartersville on our way to Dalton) on Saturday 10/16/10 and our home study is dated for 10/18/10 (so I guess technically that is our official date). We got all of our adoption applications and documents mailed to the 5 agencies this past week. The final 2 arrived on Friday. So, now the wait officially begins! Some of the agencies will mail us a letter saying we are approved and can start receiving situations or inquiring on them, others you just wait for a call saying they have a mother to present you to or a mother that has picked you. Three of the five agencies post some available situations online that you can inquire about if interested but otherwise you just wait for them to call you with a situation to see if you are interested. And so, we wait...

Pray that we are matched quickly and ideally with a mom who is due soon! But most of all pray for our future birthmom and child - that they are both healthy and the pregnancy goes well with no complications. We hope that through the process we can also be a testimony of God's love to our birthmom. Oh and pray that the Lord provides financially for all of this (we will be finishing our application for the ABBA fund no interest loan program this week so pray we get the money we need to cover our adoption). Thanks to everyone who is praying and continues to pray!
