Movement

We received an email from our case worker today asking for approval for a change in wording on our home study.  This is great news because it means she has completed the home study and it has been sent to our placement agency for approval.  We have approved the changes and hopefully this means the home study will soon be headed to DCFS for approval!

Puzzle Update

We have currently had 1102 puzzle pieces sponsored!  Woo Hoo!  That leaves only 898 more pieces to go!  This puzzle has definitely been challenging but I cannot wait for it to be completed.  We are still behind a little on putting it together but it is slowly coming together.

Keeping It Real

Not a whole lot of movement on the adoption front right now.  Our case worker is currently writing our homestudy report and we are working (or supposed to be working) on our dossier documents.  I have felt a little overwhelmed with the process the past couple of weeks so have not made much progress in regards to all the paperwork we need to get done.  However, just when it seems so daunting someone or something comes along to bring a word of encouragement.  Just this morning I received an email from a dear friend who is sharing our blog with her friends and family.  It was the push I needed to get moving again to bring our Little A home.  I know that our girl will not come home a minute too soon or a minute late and that brings comfort.

Last week I was in south GA/FL for a weekend away with another dear friend and we spent a day walking on the beach.  I was reminded that God knows exactly who our daughter is to be.  He knows the number of her days, His thoughts towards her (and us) are greater than the grains of sand and He knows the exact moment we will meet her.  I took a few minutes to pray for our sweet A and then released her to Him.  Little A we love you and cannot wait to see your face.
