Waiting and Paperwork

It will be three weeks tomorrow since we received our referral.  Since then we have learned that a few of our documents are close to being 2 years old.  We will need to update our Financial Statement, Background checks, and Physical Exam forms.   We have the first two completed and will have our physicals this week.  One more thing to check off the list.  :) 

We were also able to get a care package sent off to the girls.  That was alittle more stressful for me, since the family traveling was leaving on Jan. 5.  But I got a small photo book made (Walmart is good for something), a T-shirt, costume jewelry, and a fun play phone sent off 2 day Express Mail to a family who was traveling from Texas.  Can't wait to see the pictures they take of our girls opening their package.

Tonight we met with the Haskins family, who brought two children home in August.  They gave us all kinds of information on traveling to Addis and what to bring with us.  I am so thankful for all the ways God is preparing us for this adoption.  He continues to give me peace and affirmation.
