Today is a BIG day......we are almost exactly 4 weeks from the date we started the homestudy paperwork process and we have it all completed! That is the quickest amount of time they tell you it could take - yay us! ;)
This past week we completed our 12hrs of adoption class work, our auto-biographies and our fire inspection was this morning (we passed!!). I am mailing the finshed packet first thing tomorrow morning and then we will wait for our homestudy interviews to start....whew!
We have started collecting things for our little girl. We don't know how old she will be exactly, but figure that she can grow into things as long as we stick with the 18month and up clothing. Typically, the little girls from China are still in 18month to 2t clothing even at 3 years old. She is going to be a peanut! :)
The boys love going to yardsales on the weekends after morning soccer games and they are always pointing out things that they think their "little sister" will like. They have found her a Barbie car, a Barbie and a Skipper, a super cute spring jacket, Dora hat and mittens and several cute dresses. I have been blessed by my girlfriend, Chrissy, passing along several outfits that her 2 girls have out grown. Since we set her room up a couple of weeks ago we have just been filling her closet with anything we pick up for her. Having never needed anything "girly" before, we have a LONG way to go and lots of things to collect! Good think I like to shop :)
"We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life.
But those who make their journey home across time & miles,
growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them,
are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us
by God's very own hands."
