Our Adoption Journey
Feb. 23, 2008
Last homestudy visit done

Last week we had our last homestudy visit!! Now, we just have tons of paperwork to complete, and the social worker wants it all done by mid-March. Hopefully, the homestudy will be complete by the end of March. I know to some this seems like we are taking things slowly....well, we are. Life has been quite hectic since Gary returned from deployment, and we just don't seem to be completing the adoption steps quickly. We are at peace with everything; God will bring the perfect child/children to our family in His perfect timing.

Another note of change...we are no longer using Commonwealth Adoptions as our local agency. They had some restructuring go on in the Colorado office, and we chose to follow our social worker to another agency. So, we are now with St. Philomena Adoptions out of Aurora, CO. It is so exciting to see things come together...even if it is very slowly!!

Hi Ronda,
Thanks for your comment. We just returned from visiting friends in Monument. We absolutely loved it there and would love to get stationed there someday!
We too are about to start adoption proceedings. We've been through court custody proceedings for the last year and a half and finally will begin the "good" stuff. We've actually had the baby since he was 3 mo. old (family member's baby), but had to go thru custody stuff b/c of biological father. Long story short, we're adopting too. I pray God will lead and guide all parties involved in your adoption proceedings!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! BTW, love your blog. Very very pretty. I just don't know how ya'll do it!

We are a Christian, military, homeschooling family in the process of adopting a hearing-impaired boy (age 3-4) from Ethiopia. We are also praying that the Lord will bring us another daughter sometime in the future. This blog records our adoption journey.
