Here We Go Again
We are on our way! We have been working so hard to get things ready for the adoption process. Last week Kevin painted the kids room a beautiful sky blue that will be the perfect backdrop for some Tinkerbell pictures or a wall decal. Today we cleaned up the room and hung book ledges for our vast collection of children's books. It's starting to look like the perfect little Neverland! I'm sure any children will love the understated Peter Pan and Tinkerbell theme.
As far as paperwork, we are pretty much done! We got our final set of fingerprints done today. That's right... the courts in AZ do not trust DPS to do a background check, so they require their own fingerprints even though we have our fingerprint clearance cards. There are just a few more papers to sign!
So what's next? On Tuesday, we have our agency home inspection and our final interview with our caseworker. We will turn in the rest of our paperwork then. This will give her another week to finish our homestudy before our final class on Thursday, July 11. The goal is to have our homestudy finished and ready to turn in when we take the class, which is less than 2 weeks away! For now, we are still working on our letter to the caseworker and our scrapbook. Both of these are very important, as they will help the caseworker match us with the children that are meant for our family.
Please feel free to ask us any questions throughout this process. I know a lot of our family and friends have concerns and questions, it's natural. We will need a lot of support through this process, and we hope that the people who are closest to us will be there for us. We know with certainty that this is the path that God has led us to. And we are so excited that He is using us in this way. Our children could be sleeping snug in their beds with their foster parents looking in on them at this very moment. Or maybe our baby has not been born yet. It's so fun to think about all of the possibilities!
