So we have completed 2 of our 3 home study visits so far. They have been pretty painless so far. Our first meeting was to discuss our upbringing and family relationships. The second visit was all about our relationship and marriage. As all of you know we have a perfect marriage so this was a breeze...no joke really it was and amazingly we answered the same on all of our homework questions :) (yes, we have a ton of homework for each session). Our final visit is tomorrow, this is the actual "Home" study:) Our social worker will be coming to our home to make sure we have an appropriate home for raising a child. I really am not worried at all, I know we are fine...I still feel the urge to reorganize every room and clean down to each fiber of the carpet:) Those of you who know me well can see that this process is magnifying me OCD tendencies:)
We are getting very excited and want to make this process go as fast as possible. We are close to having all of our paperwork together. Hopefully today we will get our health and local police clearance papers complete! For those of you who have been waiting for this....we did finally put a few things on a baby registry at http://www.babiesrus.com/.
We did get some news that the adoption process in Ethiopia is slowing down. They now have only 1 judge overseeing the international proceedings and they may be putting limits on the number of international adoptions each year. This news was obviously a little disappointing for us. We have been waiting for 3 years already to bring our baby home and now we may have to wait even longer still. Please be in prayer for whatever God's timing is for our adoption process. We know that whenever our papers go through that God is in control!
