Home Study #3

We had our third homestudy appointment today. I thought this would be the last one but we have one final one next week to make sure we have all of our paperwork in order.

Our social worker is writing as she goes, so hopefully by the end of next week we will have a draft to approve!

It is so exciting to almost be done with this process and be ONE step closer to the waiting list.

Speaking of waiting.....it is really hard. With a 13 hour time difference, communication with our orphanage isn't the easiest and they are busy with the babies during the day. I have been praying for patience and I know everything is in God's timing, not mine.

I think the hubs and I are really learning a lot about our selves through this process. They definitely dive deep into questions that stop and make you think!

Our homestudy agency puts a lot of weight on education and preparedness, which I am grateful for. One book we had to read through this process is called The Connected Child. It's awesome!

I'm sure a lot of adoptive mommas and mommas-to-be have read this book. It is packed with so many resources, I would recommend  it to everyone going through the adoption process.

 

 

Counting down the days until the final homestudy meeting! Updates to come!
