I am so excited to have the first little portion of our Dossier paperwork mailed today! When we received all of your paperwork it was VERY overwhelming, but thanks to advice from Shelley it does not seem so bad anymore. We almost have all of our homestudy paperwork completed and have our first interview next week. We are heading to Peoria on Thursday to get fingerprinted and that is last piece of our portion of the homestudy.
Everyday I thank the Lord for this journey we are starting. I was praying for our little boy and figured out he is probably in someone's tummy in Ethiopia, so I am expecting, but I am not going to swell!! ( we all remember what I look like pregnant:). As I thought about that I started wondering what the mother was like, is she scared, does she have more kids, is she taking care of my baby, and what will lead her to the orphanage. Tears come to my eyes as I remember I have no control over anything she does while she is carrying our little boy. But, what I do know is God knows and He already has plans for our little boy, plans beyond what we can conceive. And I will keep remembering that until we bring him home!
I am so excited about this and I cannot wait to see what God is going to teach us through this whole process.

Perhaps she is eating hot dogs,lunch meat, pepsi and all those other forbidden things I did with both of our boys:) which you, of course, were so cautious about!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see you have a blog now that I can follow! If you have any questions just let me know. We are in process with International Adoption Net now. Waiting for a boy between 4-7.
