WE ARE MOVING RIGHT ALONG!

Sorry for the all caps title but I can't contain myself sometimes. I just feels like this is rolling and I really can't keep my emotions in sometimes.
What happened now you ask? Friday our homestudy came in the mail. I thought this would be our original homestudy, the one before we asked for the amendment to be made. But nope this is the new one extending our ages from 0-4 to 0-8! And this includes going to DCFS, which is a requirement here in Illinois.
So now what?
  • Now, we need to apply for our I-600a.
  • Mail off our referral packet with paperwork and payment..ready to go!
  • mail off our Dossier..not ready yet but will be tomorrow I promise
  • umm..this one I'm a little nervous about but..we need to apply for our passports. YIKES I know...

Thats basically what is going on in our world.

All very good, awesome things from the Lord.

Oh and I have been shopping a bit! I can't help it. Our International Pediatrician told me that the girls are in the 5th percentile for weight and height. They will grow once they get in a safe environment. She said her son gained 30 pounds and 10" the first year home! So I'm gathering a range of sizes!!

I'm praying for Abby! Please help pray for this sweet baby and her family.

I'm praying for you special families that are waiting to see your babies faces! It's all about HIS TIME! I've found that to be true.
