The Waiting Game

Well, it has been a while since we last "posted,"
so we thought now might be a good time~ Life is going well, our adoption process is moving right along. We haven't crossed any significant milestones in that regard recently, but we still wanted to write and post a picture for fun! This is us at Applebees during our Valentines Getaway weekend!
With the adoption, right now we are simply waiting. I say simply, but it's not really that simple. Right now we are waiting to hear back from 3 of the 4 of our criminal background checks. Once we do, we will get to set up our final meeting (pre-approval) with our case worker, and then we will be "legal". Then another waiting game will begin.....Who will see our profile, who will like our profile, are we the parents that they will choose to take care of their sweet baby, when will we get "the call". We are sure the next few months will be surrounded by a roller coaster of emotions, but the most important thing is that Micah and I are in this together. We are learning so much. Our Family Home Evenings have begun to consist of an opening song, prayer and a segment of the 2006 Families Supporting Adoption conference. At first we thought these videos might be dull and long, but they are not. Some of these segments have brought the Spirit into our home so strongly, it has been amazing (and of course being the emotional girl that I am, I cried at every segment!)
This week we are going to attend our second adoption training meeting. We're excited that we will have completed 8 of the 10 required hours of training by the weekend. Thus the adventure continues.
