Adoption Update

Many have been asking where we are in the adoption process so here is a quick update.

We have taken 1 of 6 foster to adopt classes and received our CPR certifications. We have not been able to complete the other 5 classes because Scott has been traveling every week since April for his job. However, the traveling should be slowing down this month and we hope to complete the remaining 5 classes in August.

Once the classes are completed, we will have our home study (hopefully the first part of September). A home study is a very personal examination of our lives and home by complete strangers. They are there to make sure that our home is safe and that we will be a suitable family for a child. Once the home study is completed, it will take about another 30 days or so to become officially licensed.

Once licensed, the waiting begins. We are able to tell them what age of children we are interested in as well as what level of medical care they may need, sex, and race.

Scott and I have not made any big decisions about the characteristics of our future child other than we would like to start with a baby. I have lots of practice with babies and I have no idea what to feed a toddler. :) But if the Lord wants us to take a toddler, I'm 1,000 percent confident He will bring us the resources and people to teach us and guide us.

Please keep us in your prayers. We are incredibly excited to see what God does next on our adoption journey.

Praise, honor, and glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ forever and ever! AMEN!
