Florida Homeschooling Mom...Among Other Things
Nov. 7, 2006
when God closes a door He opens a window

I packed up all of my maternity and nursing clothing today.  Kind of silly to keep them around, even if I had gotten pregnant again, they wouldn't fit me at this point in time.  So, I'm going to bless the local Crisis Pregnancy Center and bless those dear moms who have chosen to give their unborn children life.

 

But, in the midst of that, we are officially starting on the road to adoption.  My hubby gave the go-ahead last night, yahoo!  I told him I didn't need any birthday or Christmas gift, he gave me the gift of  a lifetime, or eternity for that matter.  I have to speak to the social worker again today to get some questions answered, and then my I600A will be completely filled out and on the way to the Orlando immigration office.  Then comes the waiting and the homestudy, the waiting and the dossier, and then some more waiting.  But oh so worth it.  It's amazing how I feel today.  Different somehow.  It's like a weight has been taken from me.  I don't feel like my body has failed anymore.  I don't feel like I'm waiting for the bomb to fall when that time of the month arrives.  We're not through it all, but it feels like there is hope now.  It was hard to find that before, after trying to get pg for 5 years this time, 3 1/2 years before, that's a long time to wait.  9-15 months doesn't seem to bad after all of that.  Please remind me of that later when I'm waiting.....

Congratulations! I will add your name to the list of women I am praying for through their adoption. You are in the paperwork shuffle with Sonya. That is the best part of the adoption to do. You are in control. Once you submit the paperwork, you turn the whole process over to God.

Have you decided on a country?
