So....what now?

With our latest and greatest news about being pregnant, we have been trying to figure out what to do with the adoption.  Just as we were (finally) finishing our home study is when we found out that Baby Parham would be gracing us with his/her presences around May 31.  Excited, yet bummed about our adoption being put off for some time, we talked with our agency about what we should do.  From the get go, we figured that if I got pregnant we paused immediately but after a few phone calls and emails we got the go ahead to keep pursuing our adoption and working on the dossier!!  This was great news to us!
So here we are, January, and really getting the ball rolling on the dossier paperwork.  After making some lists and getting organized, it seems that the dossier shouldn't be too much of a headache...fingers crossed...we have heard some crazy stories.  (We just keep thinking, "It can't just be x amount of things to do."  I am sure we learn in time....)
Thankfully, a lot of the dossier paperwork is doing over, if you will, some home study paper work.  So at least we are talking about a familiar playing field.
Pray for us to have God-speed in this.  Once Baby Parham is born, we must cease all adoption processing until six months after he/she is born.  So we are looking at potentially this time next year.  Lord willing, we will have all paper work, finger prints, etc. in by May and then we can just sit back, relax (as much as you can relax with a newborn), and enjoy our two little ones on this side of the pond.

Really looking forward to being a mom again...and again :)  What exciting times!

will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
