Now on to the adoption news.....we received our Pre-approval (PA) on July 24th! One step closer. Since our home study was for a girl between the ages of 2-6 and she will not be 2 until February we are having to update our home study. This meant a trip back to the doctor for me this morning to have all my blood work and physical exam, again. No fun, but necessary. We will have a phone interview today with the social worker and update any information that needs to be changed. Moving right along!
While we were in Texas I went to my favorite store there, The Busy B, and bought the first things for Chelsea! (I don't think I've revealed her name on here but it is Chelsea Reagan). Very excited to have some pink around the house. Keep the prayers coming for a speedy process so we can go get our sweet girl. When we have our definite approval I will post her picture for all of you to see.
One more cool thing, when we got home last night there was a ladybug on our doorstep!
It just made my day to run into you all yesterday. You are just the cutest family and I cannot wait until you have a "partner in crime" against those men at your house. :o) So happy things are moving along and as I've said before, what a lucky little girl! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! I love that she already has a pink blanket waiting for her. :) Can't wait to meet Chelsea and welcome her in to our family! Hope you have a great birthday!
ReplyDeleteDawn,
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting journey you and your family are entering into. I can honestly say that it takes someone special to go through the trials and tribulations of this exciting time. You will go through many ups and down, but just know that God would never have placed this on your heart if HE didnt think you could handle it. If you ever need anyone to talk to about any of the processes that go with international adoption, please feel free to call me! I am sure things have changed in the 10 years since we brought our Russian Princess home, as well as there being different processes for different countries. I pray for safe travels for your family as well. If there is one thing you will learn through this, it is PATIENCE! There will be many ups and downs, but in the end EVERY TRIAL and tribulation is worth it.
GOD BLESS YOU and your family~
