Hello everyone!! I am so sorry I haven't posted anything in a few weeks. I have been CRAZY busy! I went from being a full time mom and house wife; to working full time and still being a full time mommy and wife. I have a new found respect and appreiation for my mom who; worked more than one job, went to school, took care of her parents while they were sick and dying and still was an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G mom to my brother and I, while never missing a baseball game or practise. I don't know how you did it, and I am sorry for not understanding sooner.
While I have been working many hours, have no fears our adoption is still my # 2 priority (Bri being 1st). Any and every sec that i have down time between phone calls or faxes, I'm working on the adoption. It may be selling a T-shirt or filling out paperwork or emailing our agency. While we did forget about a few things for the homestudy, we should have EVERYTHING we need turned in for our homestudy by next Friday. I am praying that our social worker will be able to have our offical completed homestudy by the next Friday. I got really bummed and disappointed in myself for letting it drag out for so long when we were so close to being 100% a few weeks ago. I quickly snapped out of it and thank god for it moving so fast. A friend I have met through the Ghana group said it took them over a year to complete their homestudy, others I have read that it has taken 3-6 months...WE ARE BLESSED AND I AM THANKFUL!! I have to remember we are working on gods time..we must not be impatient.
So while we are wrapping up the homestudy I have moved on to getting the documents we need for our dossier. We have to get Tonys passport thats the big thing that is needed for it. I have everthing else, or I have ordered everything else :-) Our agency has also sent me the offical letter to apply for our I-600A and to do our biometric fingerprints!!! Of course can't be done until we have to completed homestudy and our next fee of $890. I'm thinking that cookout that got rained out in July would be a great way to earn this set of fees :-) Since we already have everything ready to turn in, this next step should go super fast. I have to remember we are working on Gods time. We have also set up our apt to get our shots. We go Sept 21. Some great friends put us in contact with a Dr. that will file with our insuarnce and what insurance don't pay for he will only charge us at "cost" This is truly a blessing what was going to cost close 1,000 each is probably at most going to cost us 300 total!! Again, WE ARE BLESSED AND I AM THANKFUL!!
I just want to say "THANK YOU!!" to everyone who has supported our adoption so far. Thank you for the prayers, the sharing of our blog and story. Thank you if you have bought one shirt or help sell 5-50. If you donated one dollar or 500 you are AMAZING and we couldn't do this without you. Any and everything that you have done is bringing us one step closer to bringing the cutest little boy in Africa home!
