Homestudy.....check!

Our homestudy is finished! Hooray! We had our last meeting with our social worker on Monday night. After 2.5 hours, we finally wrapped it up. Our homestudy will now go, along with about a billion other documents to USCIS, India, and to some grants that we've applied for. But, most importantly, it will go to Bangalore, where a very special woman is taking good care of a very special girl. We pray that this very special woman likes what she reads in the homestudy and feels that we would be great parents for this very special girl. We know God has it all worked out, but I feel so much better knowing that at least the homestudy hurdle has been cleared!

HURRY UP.......and wait!

It's been a long time since I have written and that's simply due to the fact that I have been doing about 80 million things. However, in the adoption department, things are going well. Or, should I say, were going well? We are getting ready to have our final homestudy meeting and a new regulation pops up. Keith and I now have to get Child Abuse Clearances from every city we've ever lived in since age 18. That's three different states! So, this is a minor setback, but it's nothing we can't handle. God is in control. Everything else is going great. Our social worker is absolutely awesome and the training we are going through is fabulous!

There are some developments going on in India that I am not quite ready to put out in computer land, but most of you know what I am talking about anyway. Just keep praying. Things are going well, although we can't say anything "officially" yet. We know that all things work as they should and that our Indian Angel is waiting!!!

Circle of Friends

It is so wonderful to be associated with people who believe in us and in the miracle of adoption. Our family and friends have just been awesome during this special time in our lives and we are so grateful. We are learning more and more everyday and it is great to share it with people who really want to hear all about it. Thank you dear friends!

Keith got his passport in a record 8 days! That's absolutely incredible! It's a good thing, though because India requires that you have your passport for six months before you can apply for a visa and you must have a visa to travel in India.

We are almost finished with our homestudy. Keith will meet with our social worker on Tuesday. I will meet with her the following week and once our fingerprint reports come back, she can write the report.

Thank you again, everyone, for your prayers and support. I know you are as excited as we are as we wait for our Indian Angel.
