Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
Our family was overwhelmingly blessed this past week by the goodness of God.
As I mentioned in a previous blog post, we ran into a little speed bump in the paperwork process a few weeks ago. This speed bump could have possibly required our home study to be sent back to DCFS for another round of approval. On Friday afternoon we found out that our home study will not need to be resent to DCFS. Our original approval date will remain and our home study is now ready for approval by Holt (our placement agency). Our home study agency is in the process of moving offices so it will most likely be next week before our case worker is able to send everything back to Holt but things are moving once again.
Daniel and I have gathered all of our dossier documentation and are ready to take it to the Secretary of State's office for certification and then on to the Consulate for authentication. The only missing items for our dossier are the official home study, our 797 (documentation that comes from Immigration), and photos of our family and home. There is a light at the end of this tunnel!
Friday evening we hosted a children's concert, dessert fellowship and silent auction. We were SO blessed by everyone who helped and attended. There were about 65 people in attendance and everyone had a great time. Daniel and I had an opportunity to share our heart for adoption and a little bit of our adoption story. Over 50 items were donated for our silent auction. In fact, we had so many items a few of them were not bid on. Thanks to several amazing ladies from our church we had an abundance of delicious desserts and our talented pastor's wife put on an amazing concert. We could not have done this event without the support and encouragement of so many and we are just extremely grateful.
Our God truly is able to abundantly more than we could ever ask or imagine. To God be the Glory!
